Verbal Ability Test (40 Questions in 35 minutes)
Directions for Questions 1-5: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the
basis of the information provided in the passage.
Justin was always prepared. His motto was "Never throw anything out, you never know
when it might come in handy." His bedroom was so full of flat bicycle tires, bent tennis
rackets, deflated basketballs, and games with missing pieces that you could barely get in
the door. His parents pleaded with him to clean out his room.
"What use is a fish tank with a hole in the bottom?" his father asked. But Justin simply
smiled and repeated his motto, "Never throw anything out, you never know when it might
come in handy."
When Justin was away from home, he always carried his blue backpack. He liked to think of
it as a smaller version of his bedrooma place to store the many objects that he collected.
It was so worn and stretched that it hardly resembled a backpack anymore. It was full of
the kind of things that seemed unimportant, but when used with a little imagination, might
come in handy.
Justin had earned a reputation for figuring things out and getting people out of otherwise
hopeless situations. Many of his classmates and neighbors sought him out when they
needed help with a problem. On the first day of school, his friend Kenny, came looking for
Justin.
"Do you think you have something in your bag that could help me remember my locker
combination?" he asked. "I lost the scrap of paper it was written on. I have science class in
two minutes and if Im late on the first day itll make me look bad for the rest of the year."
Kenny looked genuinely worried.
"Relax," Justin said, taking his backpack off and unzipping the top. "Remember how you
borrowed my notebook in homeroom to write the combination down? Well, I know how we
can recover what you wrote."
He took the notebook and a soft lead pencil out of his bag. The page that Kenny had written
on had left faint indentations on another page in the notebook. Justin held the pencil on its
side and rubbed it lightly over the indentations. Slowly but surely the numbers of the locker
combination appeared in white, set off by the gray pencil rubbings.
"Thats amazing!" Kenny said. "I owe you one." And he dashed off to open his locker.
During science class, Mr. Tran was lecturing on the structure of the solar system using a
model. He made a sudden gesture and the model fell apart. Planets and rings and connector
rods went everywhere, rolling and clattering and disappearing under desks. The students

scrambled around on the floor for ten minutes and were finally able to recover every piece
except onea connector rod that was lodged in a crack between two lab stations.
"If we had a magnet," said Mr. Tran, "we could easily coax it out that way. But I loaned all of
the magnet kits to the elementary school yesterday."
Justin was already searching through his backpack. "I have some materials that will work
just as well, I think," he told Mr. Tran. He pulled out a battery, an iron nail, and some
electrical wire and tape, while Mr. Tran and the other students looked on in amazement.
"Why do you have all of that stuff?" Louise Baxter asked. Justin just smiled and repeated his
motto. "Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy."
By wrapping the wire around the nail and taping each end to a battery terminal, he was able
to make a magnet strong enough to lift the rod out of the crack.
"Bravo!" said Mr. Tran.
"No problem," said Justin.
After school, Justin rode the bus to the mall where he worked at a music store. His boss,
Gail, was taking inventory of all of the CDs and tapes in the classical music section. As he
helped a customer at the register, Justin heard her exclaim, "Oh, no! I forgot my glasses!
Theres no way I can read this list without them." Justin sighed, picked up his backpack, and
walked over to Gail.
"I think I can help you out," he said, unzipping the bag. While Gail watched in surprise, he
pulled out a jar of petroleum jelly, a washer, a glass slide, and a small bottle of water. He
put the jelly on the bottom of the washer, placed it securely, jelly-side down, on the glass
slide, and then put a drop of water in the center of the washer.
He put the contraption on top of the inventory list and said to his boss, "See what happens
when you look through the water droplet." Gail looked and her eyes widened with delight.
"Wow!" she cried. "It enlarges the print that Im looking at, just like a magnifying glass!"
She patted Justin on the back. "Im all set now," she said. "Thanks."
Justin smiled. "No problem," he said, returning to the register.
It was just another day in the life of the boy whose motto was "Never throw anything out,
you never know when it might come in handy."

Directions for Questions 6-10: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on
the basis of the information provided in the passage
It is difficult to reconcile the ideas of different schools of thought on the question of
education. Some people maintain that pupils at school should concentrate narrow range of
subjects which will benefit them directly in their subsequent careers. Others contend that
they should study a wide range of subjects so that they have not only the specialized
knowledge necessary for their chosen careers but also sound general knowledge about the
world they will have to work and live in. Supporters of the first theory state that the
greatest contributions to civilization are made by those who are most expert in their trade
