ANRA Test Format
The test is made up of two sections, containing 15 questions each, and each section has a 16 minute time limit (approximately 60 seconds per a question, on average).
Section 1: Comparison of Quantities
The question format in Section 1 of the ANRA is similar to the format seen in the GRE quantitative sections.
Example:
The price of a pear is 5% higher than the price of a plum, which is 5% higher than an apple's price.
The difference between a plum and an apple's price
The difference between a pear and a plum's price.
- A is greater than B
- is greater than A
- A and B are equal
- Insufficient data
Section 2: Sufficiency of Data
The question format in Section 2 of the ANRA is similar to the format seen in the GMAT quantitative sections.
Example:
A store sells only tables and chairs. The average selling price of a table is $250 and the average selling price of a chair is $170. Does the store sell more chairs than tables?
Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient to answer the question asked.
BOTH statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question asked, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.
- The store sells more than 200 tables a day.
- The average selling price of an item (both chairs and tables) is $200.
Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient to answer the question asked.
BOTH statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question asked, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.
EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.
Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient to answer the question asked, and additional data specific to the problem are needed.
Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient to answer the question asked, and additional data specific to the problem are needed.
Practice Solutions
Without time limits on the ANRA test, all the questions may be easily solved. However, the time constraints forces test-takers to apply mathematical shortcuts and estimations. Learning these shortcuts, getting used to working under time pressure, and practicing similar concepts that appear on the ANRA may result in better performance on the actual test.
