30 Questions
All numbcrs uscdarc real numbers.

Position of points, angJes, regioos,etc. c:rn be assumedto bc in the order sbown; and angle measures can be assurnedto bc positive, Lincs showDas straight can bc assumcd to b straiglt. Figures can be assumcdto lie in a plane unlcss otherwise indicatcd. Figures tbat accompany qucstions are intcnded to provide informatioa uscfut in answcring the questions- Hoscver, unlessa notc atates that a figure is drawn to scete,you should solvc thesc-problims NOT by cstimating sizesby sight or by mcasuremcnt, but by using your lnowlcdge of matlrcmatics (see Examplc 2 bclow).
Directions: Each of thc QuesJignsl-15 consists of two quantities, onc-in Column A aqd oo. in Column B- you are to compare thc two quantitiesand choosc A B C D Note: Common IIl6EIiion: if if if if thc quantity ia Column A is greater; thc quantity in Column B is greater; thc two quantities are equal; thc relationship cannot be derermined from the information girrcn.
Since there areonly four choiccs, NEVER MARK (E).

In a question, information conccrning onc or both of the quantities to be compa.redis centered above the two columns.A symbol that appearsin both columns represents the samc thing in Column A as it does in Column B. Column A

30 Questions
All numbcrs uscdarc real numbers.

Position of points, angJes, regioos,etc. c:rn be assumedto bc in the order sbown; and angle measures can be assurnedto bc positive, Lincs showDas straight can bc assumcd to b straiglt. Figures can be assumcdto lie in a plane unlcss otherwise indicatcd. Figures tbat accompany qucstions are intcnded to provide informatioa uscfut in answcring the questions- Hoscver, unlessa notc atates that a figure is drawn to scete,you should solvc thesc-problims NOT by cstimating sizesby sight or by mcasuremcnt, but by using your lnowlcdge of matlrcmatics (see Examplc 2 bclow).
Directions: Each of thc QuesJignsl-15 consists of two quantities, onc-in Column A aqd oo. in Column B- you are to compare thc two quantitiesand choosc A B C D Note: Common IIl6EIiion: if if if if thc quantity ia Column A is greater; thc quantity in Column B is greater; thc two quantities are equal; thc relationship cannot be derermined from the information girrcn.
Since there areonly four choiccs, NEVER MARK (E).

In a question, information conccrning onc or both of the quantities to be compa.redis centered above the two columns.A symbol that appearsin both columns represents the samc thing in Column A as it does in Column B. Column A

Figurer:
Position of points" anglcs, rcgions, etc. c8n bc sssumedto bc in tbc ordcr shown; and angle measures can be assumedto bc positirc. Lincs ghowa as straigbt can be essumcd to be straigbt. Figurcr can bc assumcd to lic in a planc unless otherwisc indlntcd. Figures that accompany questions are intended to providc information useful in answering the questions. Howevcr, unlc*s a Dote statesthat a frgurc is drawn to scale,you should solve these problerns NOT by cstimating sizesby siglt or by measurement,but by using your knowledge of mathematics (see r Example 2 bctow).

Numbcn: FiBurcs:
All numbcrs uscd arc rcal numbers. Position of points, angles,regons, etc. een bc assumedto bc in the ordcr shown; and angle measures cen bc assumedto be positive. Lines shown as straight can be assumed to be straight. Figurcs can be assumedto lic in a planc unlessotherwise indicated. Figures-thataccompanyquestionsare intendedto provide information useful in answering the questlons. However, unlessa note statesthat a figure is drawn to scate,you should solve theselroblems NOT by estimatingsizcsby sightor by measurement, but by using your knowledge of mat'hematics (see Example 2 below).

All numbers usedarc real numbers Position of points, angles, regions,etc. can be assumedto be in rhc order shown;and angle measures can be assumed to be positive. Lines shown as straightcan be assumedto be straight. Figures can be assumed to lie in a phne unlessotherwiseindicated. Figures that accompany questjonsare intended to provide information usefulin answeringthe questions.
