2 Name: Date: Position Applied For: This test contains three short sections. The first section requires that you calculate the correct answer for a number of arithmetic problems. The second section requires that you solve word problems. In the third section, you are required to determine the next number in a series of numbers. Answer each question by placing an X over the appropriate answer. Select only one answer for each question. If you want to change an answer, DO NOT ERASE your mark. Instead, put a circle around the X like this: X. Then mark your new answer. There are specific instructions for each test section and each will be timed separately. Work as quickly and accurately as possible. CALCULATORS MAY NOT BE USED FOR ANY SECTION OF THIS TEST.

3 Part 1 ARITHMETIC Instructions and Sample Problems This section measures your ability to solve arithmetic problems using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Below are two examples of problems in this section. You are to work the problems and select the option for the correct answer. If the correct answer is not among those listed, select Not Given = Not Given = Not Given In sample problem number 1, the correct answer is 55, since 43 plus 12 equals 55. An X has been placed over the correct answer of 55 in the adjacent column. In sample problem number 2, 15 divided by 3 equals 5; however 5 is not given as a possible option, so the correct answer for this problem is Not Given. If you need to figure out some of the problems on paper, use the scratch paper provided. However, if you can calculate the problems in your head, you will save time and perhaps achieve a better score. You will have 6 minutes to complete this section. If you finish before time expires, go back and check your work in this section only. DO NOT go on to the next page until you are told to do so. If you have any questions, ask them now. If not, wait until the test administrator tells you to turn the page and begin. STOP! DO NOT TURN THE PAGE UNTIL YOU ARE TOLD TO DO SO.

5 Part II PROBLEM SOLVING Instructions and Sample Problems This section measures your ability to quickly and accurately solve arithmetic problems. Below are two examples of problems in this section. You are to work the problems and select the option for the correct answer. If the correct answer is not among those listed, select Not Given. 1. If three boxes in a shipment weigh 5 pounds each and two others weigh 3 pounds each, what is the total weight of the shipment? 19 pounds 21 pounds 8 pounds Not Given 2. An amusement park charges $ for an adult admission ticket. If the park allows a 25% discount for children, what is the price of a child s ticket? $ $50.00 $25.00 Not Given In sample problem number 1, the correct answer is 21 since 3 boxes weighing 5 pounds each equals 15 pounds and 2 boxes weighing 3 pounds each equals 6 pounds. Finally, 15 pounds plus 6 pounds equals 21 pounds. An X has been placed over the correct answer of 21 pounds. In sample problem number 2, 25% of $ equals $25.00; therefore, $25.00 off of an adult admission of $ is $ However since $75.00 is not given as a possible option, the correct answer is Not Given. If you need to figure out some of the problems on paper, use the scratch paper provided. However, if you can calculate the problems in your head, you will save time and perhaps achieve a better score. You will have 13 minutes to complete this section. If you finish before time expires, go back and check your work in this section only. DO NOT go on to the next page until you are told to do so. If you have any questions, ask them now.

7 Part III NUMBER SERIES Instructions and Sample Problems This section measures your ability to quickly and accurately determine the next number in a series of numbers. Below are three examples of problems in this section. A pattern is established in each series. You are to examine each series, determine the next number and select the option for the correct answer in the column labeled NEXT NUMBER IS. NUMBER SERIES NEXT NUMBER IS: In sample problem number 1, the pattern is +2, +2, +2, etc., so the next number in the series is 9 plus 2, or 11. An X has been placed over the correct answer of 11 in the adjacent column. In sample problem number 2, the pattern is +3, -1, +3, -1, etc., so the next number is 9 plus 3, or 12. In sample problem number 3, the pattern is x2, +2, -1, etc., so the next number in the series is 19. You will have 9 minutes to complete this section. If you finish before time expires, go back and check your work in this section only. DO NOT go on to the next page until you are told to do so. If you have any questions, ask them now.
