Instructions

This practice test contains 30 questions and you will have 30 minutes in which to
correctly answer as many as you can. Calculators are NOT permitted.

It’s recommended to have some rough paper for your calculations. You will have to
work quickly and accurately to perform well in this test. If you don’t know the answer
to a question, leave it and come back to it if you have time.

This test is comprised of 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. When
you are ready, turn to the next page and begin.

One ounce of silver is worth £11.75 at week 1
Frank’s silver was worth £12,763 on week 3
and £24.21 by week 4.

Note: Frank invests in silver in week 1. By Week 2, his investment has increased by 3% in
value. On week 3, his investment drops by 1.3% from the previous week. On week 4, the
value of his investment doubles from the week 2 value.

Q16 How much is Frank’s silver worth on week 4?

(A) Statement 1 ALONE is sufficient, but statement 2 is not sufficient to answer

the question.

(B) Statement 2 ALONE is sufficient, but statement 1 alone is not sufficient to answer
the question.

(C) BOTH statements 1 and 2 TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question, but
NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.

(D) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.

(E) Statements 1 and 2 together are NOT sufficient to answer the question asked.

Answer: (A) Statement 1 ALONE is sufficient, but statement 2 is not sufficient

to answer the question.

Step 1: Knowing the value of the silver in week 3 allows us to work backwards. We
reverse the decrease in this figure by 1.3%, and then double it to obtain the value in
week 4.

£12,763 / 0.987 = £12,931.10436

£12,931.10436 * 2 = £25,862.21

Step 2: Knowing the value of silver by the ounce does not help us answer the
question, as we do not know how many ounces of silver Frank owns.

Thus, the correct answer is(A) Statement 1 ALONE is sufficient, but statement 2
alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Answer: (E) Statements 1 and 2 together are NOT sufficient to answer the
question asked.

Step 1: We are told that half of employees contribute 3% of their monthly wages to
their pension fund. This is not enough to calculate the average employee
contribution.

Thus, the correct answer is (E) Statements 1 and 2 together are NOT sufficient to
answer the question asked.

(D) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.

(E) Statements 1 and 2 together are NOT sufficient to answer the question asked.

Answer: (C) BOTH statements 1 and 2 TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the
question, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.

Step 1: Knowing how much the shares have increased in value helps us calculate
the answer to the question. We multiply the number of years since the investment by
the total increase in value per year.

£2,115 x 3 = £6,345

Step 2: Knowing the dividends accrued per year also helps us answer the question,
but only in conjunction with the information in B. We then combine the numbers from
and A and B to answer the question.
£134 x 3 = £402
£402 + £6,345 = £6,747

Thus, the correct answer is (C) BOTH statements 1 and 2 TOGETHER are sufficient

(D) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.

(E) Statements 1 and 2 together are NOT sufficient to answer the question
asked.

Answer: (E) Statements 1 and 2 together are NOT sufficient to answer the
question asked.

Step 1: It is not possible to determine how much any of these people earn. All we
know for certain is that Michelle earns more than Janice, and that Albert earns more
than Janice. We cannot tell whether Michelle earns more than Albert or vice versa.
(For example, if Janice earns £5,000 per year, Michelle and Albert will earn the same
amount of money).

Thus, the correct answer is (E) Statements 1 and 2 together are NOT sufficient to

Note: A cargo ship can transport a maximum of 275 tonnes of cargo at any given time.

Q20 What is the total combined value of the cargo transported

across all four trips?

(A) Statement 1 ALONE is sufficient, but statement 2 is not sufficient to answer the

(C) BOTH statements 1 and 2 TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question,
but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.

(D) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.

(E) Statements 1 and 2 together are NOT sufficient to answer the question asked.

Answer: (C) BOTH statements 1 and 2 TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the
question, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.

Step 1: The incomes of 4 employees, which is not enough information to deduce the
average income of employees at company A.

Step 2: To calculate the weight of cargo taken each journey multiply 275 by 0.75.
275 * 0.75 = 206.25 tonnes of cargo

Step 3: Four trips are made from City A to City B carrying 206.25 tonnes of cargo
each time. The total weight of cargo carried can be calculated as follows:
4 x 206.25 = 825 tonnes

Step 4: The value of each tonne of cargo is £30,303.03. The combined value of
cargo transported across all 4 journeys is as follows:
825 * £30,303.03 = £24,999,999.75 = £25 million

Thus, the correct answer is (C) BOTH statements 1 and 2 TOGETHER are sufficient
to answer the question, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.

(D) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.

(E) Statements 1 and 2 together are NOT sufficient to answer the question asked.

Answer: (B) Statement 2 ALONE is sufficient, but statement 1 alone is not

sufficient to answer the question.

Step 1: Knowing how many employees have left the company does not tell us the
net change in the number of employees. Without knowing how many employees
joined, we cannot answer the question with A.

Step 2: If the number of employees at company A increases by 7%, that means that
a net increase of 7% occurred by the end of 2013.

Thus, the correct answer is (B) Statement 2 ALONE is sufficient, but statement 1
alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

(A) Statement 1 ALONE is sufficient, but statement 2 is not sufficient to answer

the question.

(B) Statement 2 ALONE is sufficient, but statement 1 alone is not sufficient to answer
the question.

(C) BOTH statements 1 and 2 TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question, but
NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.

(D) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.

(E) Statements 1 and 2 together are NOT sufficient to answer the question asked.

Answer: (A) Statement 1 ALONE is sufficient, but statement 2 is not sufficient

to answer the question.

Step 1: Knowing that Denise’s combined monthly expenses equal £3,124 and are
equally divided between them means that she spends £1,562 per month. We then
subtract this from her earnings and we have the answer to the question.

£2,478 - £1,562 = £916

Step 2: Knowing that her rent accounts form an absolute majority of her outgoings
won’t help us answer the question, and enough information is found in A to answer
the question.

Thus, the correct answer is (A) Statement 1 ALONE is sufficient, but statement 2
alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

sources of funding.

Q25 How much funding did the research department receive this
year?

(A) Statement 1 ALONE is sufficient, but statement 2 is not sufficient to answer the
question.

(B) Statement 2 ALONE is sufficient, but statement 1 alone is not sufficient to answer
the question.

(C) BOTH statements 1 and 2 TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question,
but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.

(D) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.

(E) Statements 1 and 2 together are NOT sufficient to answer the question asked.

Answer: (C) BOTH statements 1 and 2 TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the
question, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.

Step 1: Using both A and B, we can deduce that government funding and charities
account for 50% of all research funding, and therefore private companies must
account for the other 50%. Since £850,000 accounts for 50% of funding, doubling
this figure reveals the answer.

£850,000 x 2 = £1,700,000

Thus, the correct answer is (C) BOTH statements 1 and 2 TOGETHER are sufficient
to answer the question, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.

Product A costs £51 to produce. Product A has a gross profit margin of 20%.

Note: A gross profit of £12.75 is made on every sale of product A.

Q26 How much is product A sold for?

(A) Statement 1 ALONE is sufficient, but statement 2 is not sufficient to answer the
question.

(B) Statement 2 ALONE is sufficient, but statement 1 alone is not sufficient to answer
the question.

(C) BOTH statements 1 and 2 TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question, but
NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.

(D) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.

(E) Statements 1 and 2 together are NOT sufficient to answer the question asked.

Answer: (D) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question

asked.

Step 1: If product A costs £51 to produce, and it is sold at a gross profit of 12.75, it
must therefore cost £63.75.

Step 2: To calculate the price of product A we can divide the gross profit margin by
the gross profit, identifying the original price.

12.75 / 0.2 = £63.75

Thus, the correct answer is (D) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the
question asked.

contact list. The remainder are phishing emails.

Q27 What is the probability that any given email will be a phishing
email?

(A) Statement 1 ALONE is sufficient, but statement 2 is not sufficient to answer

the question.

(B) Statement 2 ALONE is sufficient, but statement 1 alone is not sufficient to answer
the question.

(C) BOTH statements 1 and 2 TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question, but
NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.

(D) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.

(E) Statements 1 and 2 together are NOT sufficient to answer the question asked.

Answer: (A) Statement 1 ALONE is sufficient, but statement 2 is not sufficient

to answer the question.

Step 1: If two thirds (66.67%) of emails are legitimate emails from the contact list,
12.5% are advertisements and 15% are legitimate emails not from the contact
list,5.83% of emails must be phishing emails.

Step 2: The number of emails received is not required to calculate the probability of
a particular email being a particular email. The question asks for the probability that
an email will be a phishing email, not the number of phishing emails.

Thus, the correct answer is (A) Statement 1 ALONE is sufficient, but statement 2
alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

time of purchase.

Note: An investor purchases gold, silver and platinum at a ratio of 4:3:7 in (£).

Q28 How much gold did the investor purchase in ounces?

(A) Statement 1 ALONE is sufficient, but statement 2 is not sufficient to answer the
question.

(B) Statement 2 ALONE is sufficient, but statement 1 alone is not sufficient to answer
the question.

(C) BOTH statements 1 and 2 TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question, but
NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.

(D) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.

(E) Statements 1 and 2 together are NOT sufficient to answer the question
asked.

Answer: (E) Statements 1 and 2 together are NOT sufficient to answer the
question asked.

Step 1: We cannot deduce how much was spent on the ounces of gold which were
purchased by the investor, as we do not know the price of gold per ounce. The ratio
of 4:3:7 only refers to the prices paid of silver, gold and platinum, purchased in
relation to each other, and has no bearing to the weight/quantity of these metals.

Thus, the correct answer is (E) Statements 1 and 2 together are NOT sufficient to
answer the question asked.

Q29 What are the odds of rolling a 5 on a 6 sided die?

(A) Statement 1 ALONE is sufficient, but statement 2 is not sufficient to answer

the question.

(B) Statement 2 ALONE is sufficient, but statement 1 alone is not sufficient to answer
the question.

(C) BOTH statements 1 and 2 TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question, but
NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.

(D) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.

(E) Statements 1 and 2 together are NOT sufficient to answer the question asked.

Answer: (A) Statement 1 ALONE is sufficient, but statement 2 is not sufficient

to answer the question.

Step 1: Because the odds of rolling a 6 are doubled, and the die will never roll a 2,
the odds of rolling a 5 will be the same as it would be on a fair die, a 1 in 6 chance.

1/6 = 16.67%

Step 2: Knowing the numbers that previously came up does not help us calculate
the answer as it has no bearing on future throws.

Thus, the correct answer is (A) Statement 1 ALONE is sufficient, but statement 2
alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

(E) Statements 1 and 2 together are NOT sufficient to answer the question
asked.

Answer: (E) Statements 1 and 2 together are NOT sufficient to answer the
question asked.

Step 1: Without knowing the exact number of customers which staff talk to per day,
we cannot accurately calculate the amount of time spent on the phone to customers
on average.

Thus, the correct answer is (E) Statements 1 and 2 together are NOT sufficient to
answer the question asked.
