Advanced Numerical Reasoning

Test 2

Questions Booklet

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.
