The Test has 3 parts: Abstract Reasoning Test, Numerical Reasoning Test and
Verbal Reasoning Test.

Part 1:

Abstract Reasoning Test

This abstract reasoning test will comprise 16 questions. You will have 17 minutes
in which to correctly answer as many as you can.

In each question, you will be presented with a logical sequence of five figures. You
will need to determine which of the possible answers best matches the next figure
in the sequence, or replaces a missing figure in the sequence.

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.

Abstract Reasoning Test will begin at question 1, finish at question 16

The brain has around one hundred billion cells (neurons). Brain cells make links
that form neural pathways and it is these links that help us to learn. It is estimated
that there might be as many as one hundred trillion such neural links although
others have put the figure much higher - 1 with millions of zeros after it. The number
of neural links has been likened to trying to imagine all the trees in the Amazon
rainforest as the number of neurons and the number of leaves on every tree in the
rainforest as the number of neural connections. Much of the new research into how
the brain works has been boosted by the development of magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) technology. This technology allows us to be able to gain a greater
understanding of the complex processes that are involved in normal human
activity. Different parts of the brain can be shown to be more active in certain types
of human physical and mental activity than others and whilst we still have much to
learn about the brain, the leap in our understanding has not only helped the
medical profession but also business and economics.

Q17. MRI technology is useful to conduct research on the brain.

(A) True

(B) False

(C) Cannot say

ANSWER: A

Q18. Improving our understanding about the brain is useful for sports.

(A) True

(B) False

(C) Cannot say

ANSWER: C
Q19. Some parts of the brain are more active during creative activity.

(A) True

(B) False

(C) Cannot say

ANSWER: C

Q20. There are one hundred trillion neural links in the human brain.

(A) True

(B) False

(C) Cannot say

ANSWER: C

The United Nations’ Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species

(CITES) recently reaffirmed a 1989 ban on trading ivory, despite calls from
Tanzania and Zambia to lift it. Only 470,000 elephants remain in Africa today –
compared to 1.3 million in 1979. While natural habitat loss was a significant factor
in dwindling elephant populations, poaching for ivory was the main cause. Since
the ban’s implementation, elephant populations have recovered in many African
countries, but an estimated 38,000 elephants are still killed annually. CITES
permitted one-off sales in 1999 and in 2008, allowing approved countries to
dispose of their government stockpiles of ivory. Ivory from these sales was
exported to Japan and China, where demand for carved ivory is high. Conservation
groups vehemently oppose further one-off sales, because much of the ivory sold
is of unknown origin. Furthermore, the sales have fuelled far-Eastern demand for
ivory. In central and western African countries, where organized crime rings
operate lucrative ivory smuggling operations, poaching remains rife. Those in
favour of allowing one-off sales argue that elephants are no longer endangered,
and that maintaining the ban will simply inflate the price of illegal ivory, making
poaching more tempting. Though the CITES decision is viewed as a victory by
conservationists, the African elephant’s future relies on governments’ commitment
to enforcing the ban.

Q21. No legal sales of Ivory have occured since 1989.

(A) True

(B) False

(C) Cannot say

ANSWER: B

Q22. Whether or not African elephants should be classified as endangered is

debatable.

(A) True

(B) False

(C) Cannot say

ANSWER: A

Q23. Conservationists question the provenance of the ivory sold at one-off sales.

(A) True

(B) False
(C) Cannot say

ANSWER: A

Q24. Because their elephant populations are thriving, Tanzania and Zambia want
to lift the ban on ivory trading.

(A) True

(B) False

(C) Cannot say

ANSWER: C

Q25. Increased demand from Japan and China is driving up the price of ivory.

(A) True

(B) False

(C) Cannot say

ANSWER: C

Stem cells are cells that can self-renew and differentiate into specialised cell types.
Because of their potential to replace diseased or defective human tissue, stem
cells are seen by scientists as key to developing new therapies for a wide range of
conditions, including degenerative illnesses and genetic diseases. Treatments
based on adult stem cells – from sources such as umbilical cord blood – have been
successfully developed, but what makes stem cell research controversial is the
use of embryonic stem cells. Not only do embryonic stem cells reproduce more
quickly than adult stem cells, they also have wider differentiation potential. The
main opponents to stem cell research are pro-life supporters, who believe that
human life should not be destroyed for science. Advocates of stem cell research
counter this crucial point by saying that an embryo cannot be viewed as a human
life, and that medical advances justify the destruction of embryos. Furthermore,
stem cell research utilises the thousands of surplus embryos created for in vitro
fertilisation treatment. The issue is particularly divisive in the United States, where
federal funding is not available for the creation of new embryonic stem cell lines,
although recent legislation has opened up government funding to further research
on embryonic stem cells created through private funding. Whereas many
governments prohibit the production of embryonic stem cells, it is allowed in
countries including the UK, Sweden and the Netherlands.

Q26. Stem cells are at the forefront of medical research because of their ability to
grow indefinitely.

(A) True

(B) False

(C) Cannot say

ANSWER: C

Q27. The United States government does not supply funding for projects using
embryonic stem cell lines.

(A) True

(B) False

(C) Cannot say

ANSWER: B

Q28. One advantage of embryonic stem cells over adult stem cells is their greater
ability to be converted into specialised cell types.

(A) True

(B) False
(C) Cannot say

ANSWER: A

Q29. The bioethical debate over embryonic stem cell research centres on whether
it involves the destruction of human life.

(A) True

(B) False

(C) Cannot say

ANSWER: A

Q30. Treatments based on embryonic stem cells provide therapies for a wide
range of diseases.

(A) True

(B) False

(C) Cannot say

ANSWER: C
Part 3:

Numerical Reasoning Test

This numerical reasoning test comprises 14 questions, and you will have 14
minutes in which to correctly answer as many as you can. Calculators are
permitted for this test, and it is recommended you have some rough paper to work
on.

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. Each
question will have five or six possible answers, one of which is correct.

Numerical Reasoning Test will begin at question 31, finish at question 44.
