Quantitative Reasoning assesses test takers’ ability to work with numbers and mathematical concepts to solve problems, including interpreting data shown in tables or graphs. The section uses multiple-choice questions where each item offers four responses with one correct answer. Topics include algebra and geometry, both direct mathematical questions and translated word problems, plus graph or table comprehension. Questions are ordered from easier to more difficult, with practice formulas and examples supporting review.

Guide For Examinees Inter-University Psychometric Entrance Test QUANTITATIVE REASONING The Quantitative Reasoning domain tests your ability to use numbers and mathematical concepts to solve mathematical problems, as well as your ability to analyze data presented in a variety of ways, such as in table or graph form. Only a basic knowledge of mathematics is required (the material studied up to 9th or 10th grades in most Israeli high schools) . All of the Quantitative Reasoning problems take the form of multiple-choice questions, that is, a question followed by four possible responses, only one of which is the correct answer. The Quantitative Reasoning sections consist of two categories of questions – Questions and Problems, and Graph or Table Comprehension. Questions and Problems cover a variety of subjects taken from algebra and geometry. Some of the questions are presented in mathematical terms; others are word problems, which you must translate into mathematical terms before solving. Graph or Table Comprehension questions relate to information appearing in a graph or a table. A graph presents data in graphic form, such as a bar chart, line graph or scatter plot. A table presents data arranged in columns and rows. In general, all questions of a given type are arranged in ascending order of difficulty. The easier questions, requiring relatively less time to solve, appear first, with the questions becoming progressively more difficult and requiring more time to solve. The figures accompanying some of the questions are not necessarily drawn to scale. Do not rely solely on the figure's appearance to deduce line length, angle size, and so forth. However, if a line in a figure appears to be straight, you may assume that it is, in fact, a straight line. A Formula Page appears at the beginning of each Quantitative Reasoning section. This page contains instructions, general comments and mathematical formulas, which you may refer to during the test. The Formula Page also appears in the Guide (on the next page) and in the Quantitative Reasoning sections of the practice test. You should familiarize yourself with its contents prior to taking the test. Pages 38-66 contain a review of basic mathematical concepts, covering much of the material upon which the questions in the Quantitative Reasoning sections are based. The actual test may, however, include some questions involving mathematical concepts and theorems that do not appear on these pages. Pages 67-82 contain examples of different types of questions, each followed by the answer and a detailed explanation. 37 Quantitative Reasoning 38 FORMULA PAGE This section contains 20 questions. The time allotted is 20 minutes. This section consists of questions and problems involving Quantitative Reasoning. Each question is followed by four possible responses. Choose the correct answer and mark its number in the appropriate place on the answer sheet. Note: The words appearing against a gray background are translated into several languages at the bottom of each page. | General Comments about the Quantitative Reasoning Section | | --- | | * The figures accompanying some of the problems are provided to help solve the problems, but are not necessarily drawn to scale. Therefore, do not rely on the figures alone to deduce line length, angle size, and so forth. | | * If a line in a figure appears to be straight, you may assume that it is in fact a straight line. | | * When a geometric term (side, radius, area, volume, etc.) appears in a problem, it refers to a term whose value is greater than 0, unless stated otherwise. | | * When a (a > 0) appears in a problem, it refers to the positive root of a. | | * "0" is neither a positive nor a negative number. | | * "0" is an even number. | | * "1" is not a prime number. | | Formulas | 1. Percentages: a% of x is equal to 1a00 $ x 2. Exponents: For every a that does not equal 0, and for any two integers n and m a. a−

FAQs
