Admission Tests Graduate Management Admission Test Sample Questions:

1. John made 6 deposits into his account last month. How many of the 6 deposits were greater than $80?
(1)
The average (arithmetic mean) of the 6 deposits was $80.
(2)
Of the 6 deposits, 3 deposits were $60 each.

A) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
B) Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
C) Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
D) BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
E) Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.

2. Government regulations in Nation X require that milk products labeled "organic" come from cows that have access to pasture. Many industrial dairies have begun using the organic label on their products even though their cows spend most of their milk-bearing lives confined to feed lots eating grain. Critics charge that industrial dairy cows spend too little time grazing in pastures for their milk to bear the organic label, but the cows' owners insist that the animals are in good health and show no signs of discontent.
Which of the following would it be most useful to establish in order to determine whether the industrial dairies' use of the organic label complies with government regulations?

A) The average amount of grass eaten by a cow from an industrial dairy that uses the organic label, as compared to the average amount of grass eaten by a cow from a smaller organic dairy farm
B) By what criteria a cow is considered to be "in good health," according to government regulation
C) The meaning of "access to pasture," as stipulated by government regulation
D) The effects on milk prices of the wider use of the organic label
E) The nutritional value of the milk labeled organic that is produced by cows from industrial dairies

3. If x, y, and z are positive integers and x3y4 = z, what is the value of x?
(1)
y = 2
(2)
z = 2,000

A) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
B) Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
C) Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
D) BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
E) Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.

4.

A) Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient but statement (1) atone is not sufficient.
B) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
C) Statement (1) ALONE Is sufficient, but statement (2) alone Is not sufficient
D) BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
E) Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient

5. Until the Apollo astronauts brought samples of lunar material to Earth during 1966-72, scientists believed that the Moon's surface was largely undisturbed, given its dry, airless environment. Examination of the samples has shown otherwise. Micrometeorites, many smaller than a pencil point, constantly rain onto the Moon at up to
100,000 kilometers per hour, chipping materials or forming microscopic craters. Some melt the soil and vaporize and recondense as glassy coats on other specks of dust. Impacts weld debris into lumps of heterogeneous matter called "agglutinates." Complicated interactions with solar particle streams convert iron into myriads of microscopic iron grains. The regdith-pebbles, sand, and dust-from these erosion processes blankets the Moon. Much of the top layer consists of a complex abrasive dust of microscopic glass shards that can grind machinery and sealing devices and damage human lungs.
The Apollo specimens held by the United States are doled out in ultra-small samples to scientists who demonstrate that nothing else will suffice for high-value experiments. Renewed interest In lunar exploration in the late 1980s meant that materials designed to simulate lunar regolith-simulants-were needed for research to develop schemes for lunar building and procedures for extracting elements such as oxygen found abundantly in regolith. That led to the development of JSC-1 in 1993, made of volcanic cinder cone from a quarry in Arizona in the U.S. The more than 22 metric tons made was in high demand. Efforts are now afoot to manufacture 16 metric tons of JSC-1 A, with 1 ton of fine grains, 14 tons of moderately fine, and 1 ton of coarse.
Which of the following can most reasonably be inferred from the passage?

A) The micrometeorites bombarding the lunar surface pose no risk to humans exploring the Moon.
B) Future human lunar explorers will probably have to have water transported to the moon for their use.
C) Metal structures built on the Moon will be susceptible to rust.
D) Lunar regolith is unlikely to provide any of the raw materials for construction of permanent buildings on the Moon.
E) It will probably be scientifically possible to generate on the Moon supplies of air for future lunar explorers.
