Section 2
Quantitative Reasoning
37 Questions Time: 35 minutes

This section is divided into two parts that contain two different types of questions. As soon as you have
completed Part One, answer the questions in Part Two. You may write in your test booklet. For each answer
you select, remember to fill in the corresponding circle on your answer document.

Any figures that accompany the questions in this section may be assumed to be drawn as accurately as possible
EXCEPT when it is stated that a particular figure is not drawn to scale. Letters such as x, y, and n stand for real
numbers.

PART ONE — WORD PROBLEMS

Each question in Part One consists of a word problem followed by four answer choices. You may write in your
test booklet; however, you may be able to solve many of these problems in your head. Next, look at the four
answer choices given and select the best answer.

PART TWO — QUANTITATIVE COMPARISONS
All questions in Part Two are quantitative comparisons between the quantities shown in Column A and Column
B. Using the information given in each question, compare the quantity in Column A to the quantity in Column
B, and choose one of these four answer choices:
(A) The quantity in Column A is greater.
(B) The quantity in Column B is greater.
(C) The two quantities are equal.
(D) The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.

EXAMPLE 2: Column A Column B Sample Answer

5 √25 ⒶⒷⒸⒹ
The quantity in Column A (5) is the same as the quantity in
Column B (5), so circle C is darkened.

EXAMPLE 3: 𝑥𝑥 = 62 − 3×4
Column A Column B Sample Answer
x 22 ⒶⒷⒸⒹ
The quantity in Column A (24) is greater than the quantity
in Column B (22), so circle A is darkened.
