Advanced Numerical Reasoning Test 1

Questions Booklet

Instructions

This numerical reasoning test comprises 30 questions, and you will have 30 minutes in
which to correctly answer as many as you can. Calculators are NOT permitted for this test,
and it is recommended you have some rough paper to work on.

This test comprises two sub-tests:

Subtest 1: Comparison of Quantities (Questions 1-15)

This test requires you to make a comparison between two quantities, A and B. For some of
the exercises, additional information is given which should also be used in your determination
of quantity.

Subtest 2: Sufficiency of Information (Questions 16-30)

This test consists of exercises in which you are given a question and two statements, labelled
(1) and (2), which give certain information. You are asked to decide whether the information
given in the two statements is sufficient to answer the question, either separately or in
combination.

Try to find a time and place where you will not be interrupted during the test. The test will
begin on the next page.
