This book is designed to help you prepare for a specialized math section of a select few of the most important assessment exams. By completing the exer- cises in this book, you will also increase your math knowledge and refine your logic and analytical skills. Key academic aptitude tests produced by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) for the College Board—the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) exam, the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) assessment, and the Graduate Records Examination (GRE) test—include a quantitative comparison section within the math portion of the exam, so for college-bound students and many graduate students, mastering this question type is essential for getting into their school of choice. What makes this book different than other math practice books? It’s sim- ple—this math practice book contains only questions that ask you which column contains the item of greater value, if the values are the same, or if the value cannot be determined by the information given. Gaining famil- iarity with this specialized question type is a proven technique for increas- ing test scores. ix
