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.

(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 the metal’s value at week four allows us to calculate the metals
initial value, provided we can find out the value of silver.

Step 2: B gives us the value of silver, which allows us to calculate the metals initial
value, by halving the metals week 4 value three times (giving us the week 1 value):

£0.36 / 2 / 2 / 2 = £0.045

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

(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 that the winner of the raffle had a 1.2% chance of winning does not
tell us the likelihood of winning with 1 ticket (as the winner may have had multiple
tickets).

Step 2: Knowing how many tickets are in play allows us to identify the odds of a
single ticket winning the raffle.

1 / 750 = 0.134% chance of winning the raffle with 1 ticket

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

(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 that the die is loaded allows us to calculate the number of times
you would expect to land on a 6 from 24 throws, but only if we know how many sides
the die has.

Step 2: Knowing that the die is 5-biased, combined with knowing the die is 6 sided
gives us all the information we need to answer the question. (We divide by 7, as the
chances of rolling a 5 are doubled - you can also multiply 24 by 1/7th; the probability
of a 5).

24 / 7 = 3.428571429 times out of 24 throws

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

(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 how much to deduct from capital gains tax allows us to calculate
the initial lump sum. To calculate this, we divide the capital gains tax sum by 82% to
reveal the lump sum.

£342 / 0.18 = £1,900

Step 2: Knowing that the initial was less than £20,000 is not useful information and
does not help us answer the question.

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

Denise’s gold has increased in value by £162.35 The latest increase in value for Denise’s gold
since she invested. was £32.47 from the previous year

Note: The value of Denise’s gold has risen on average by 2% of the initial investment per
year since she invested.

Q25 How much did Denise initially spend?

(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: A: This information isn’t useful, as we don’t know the number of years since
Denise’s initial investment.

Step 2: B: This information is also not sufficient enough. We know that the latest
increase from the previous year was £32.47, however we do not know if this is
exactly the 2% increase or if it deviates from the yearly average.

Thus, the correct answer is (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: Neither A or B state how much Steve plans to spend renovating the
property. As a result, we cannot accurately deduce how much Steve needs to
borrow.

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

17 < X < 19 X/Y=9

Q27 What is the value of X?

(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: Neither A or B help us determine the value of X, as it is possible that X could

be any number between 17.1 and 18.9. Similarly, we do not know the value of Y, so
this does not help us calculate the value of X.

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

Sprinter A outran sprinter C by 0.34 seconds Sprinter B outran Sprinter C by 0.43 seconds

Q28 How much faster is sprinter B than Sprinter A?

(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: If sprinter A outran sprinter C by 0.34 seconds, and sprinter B outran sprinter
C by 0.43 seconds, sprinter A must have been beaten by sprinter B by 0.1 seconds
(0.43 – 0.34 = 0.1).

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

The lowest funded department for this quarter
was the customer services department, and
HR is the second lowest funded department for the third lowest funded department was the
this quarter finance department. Customer Services was
allocated 5% of funding, and finance was
allocated 15% of funding

Note: Budgetary funding for each quarter is allocated in 5% increments.

Q29 How much funding will the HR department receive for the
quarter?

(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: Knowing that HR is the second lowest funded department provides some
context, but cannot answer the question on its own.

Step 2: If customer services was the lowest funded department at 5%, and funding
is allocated in 5% increments, HR (being the second lowest funded department)
must have been allocated 10% (behind the 15% funding of the third lowest funded
department, finance).

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

£89 is equal to 15,666.67 Yen 1,086.03 euros is equal to £785

Note: 1 euro = $1.06. 1 Yen = $0.0083.

Q30 What is the value of £1 in $?

(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 15,666.67 Yen is equal to £89, £89 must be equal to $130.033. Therefore,
£1 must be worth $1.46

15,666.67 Yen x $0.0083 = $130.033

$130.033 / £89 = $1.46

Step 2: If 1,086.03 euros is equal to £785, £785 must be equal to:

1,086.03 euros x 1.06 = $1151.19

$1151.19 / £785 = 1.46

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