✍️ Sample SCAT Questions & Answers
1. decrease : increase ::
The analogy 'decrease : increase' establishes an antonym relationship, where the two words have opposite meanings. To decrease is the opposite of to increase. Similarly, 'shallow : deep' presents a pair of antonyms, as shallow is the opposite of deep in terms of vertical extent.
2. A student has an average score of 85 on three tests. If the student scores a 97 on the fourth test, what is the new average for all four tests?
First, find the total points from the first three tests. An average of 85 on three tests means the total score is 3 * 85 = 255. Next, add the fourth test score to this total: 255 + 97 = 352. To find the new average, divide the new total by the number of tests, which is now four: 352 / 4 = 88.
3. A pie chart shows 25% of students prefer math, 40% science, 20% English, and 15% history. If there are 200 students, how many prefer science?
40% of 200 = 0.40 × 200 = 80 students.
4. Which column is bigger?
When Column A is greater, it means that the numerical value or quantity presented in Column A consistently exceeds that of Column B. After performing any necessary calculations or comparisons, Column A would always be found to have a larger magnitude. Without the actual columns, we infer this based on the provided correct answer.
5. Compare: Column A: 7/12 - 1/4 versus Column B: 1/3. Which is greater?
7/12 - 1/4 = 7/12 - 3/12 = 4/12 = 1/3, which equals Column B.
6. Which word is OPPOSITE in meaning to AUDACIOUS?
Audacious means willing to take bold risks; its antonym is 'timid,' meaning lacking courage or confidence.
