This section assesses students' deductive and quantitative reasoning and general quantitative sense and knowledge. Students are asked to compare two sets of number or number related expressions to determine if one is greater than, less than, or equal to the other.

Below is an example:

• Number comparison:
  1.  Compare the two things and decide if one is bigger than the other or if they are equal.

  A) I is greater than II.

  B) I is less than II.

  C) I is equal to II.

  [Correct Answer]:A
  The comparisons also involve mathematical expressions, money, measurement, time, geometry and others. Below are more examples:
