ISAT - International Student Admissions Logical Deduction from Passages 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: 'All medical professionals in emergency departments must have CPR certification. Dr. Patel works in radiology.' What can be deduced?
- Dr. Patel does not have CPR certification
- Dr. Patel is not required to have CPR certification by this rule (Correct answer)
- Dr. Patel has CPR certification
- Dr. Patel used to work in emergency
Correct answer: Dr. Patel is not required to have CPR certification by this rule
The rule applies only to emergency department workers. Dr. Patel works in radiology, so the rule does not apply.
The rule states: IF emergency department THEN CPR required. Dr. Patel is in radiology, so the rule does not apply. We cannot determine whether he has CPR certification.
Question 2: Library closes at 9 PM weekdays, 6 PM weekends. Weekday loans: 14 days. Weekend loans: 7 days. Extended loans only for academic texts. Sarah borrows fiction on Saturday. Latest return time?
- Next Saturday at 6 PM (Correct answer)
- Next Friday at 9 PM
- 14 days from Saturday
- Following Saturday at 9 PM
Correct answer: Next Saturday at 6 PM
Saturday = weekend = 7-day loan. Fiction = no extended loan. 7 days from Saturday = Saturday. Library closes at 6 PM on weekends.
Saturday (weekend) = 7-day period. Fiction = not eligible for extension. Due date = following Saturday. Weekend closing = 6 PM.
Question 3: A manager with 3 years of service used 12 leave days last year. Policy: >5 years = 25 days, <5 years = 15 days. Managers get +5 days. Max 10 days carryover. How many days available this year?
- 28 days (Correct answer)
- 18 days
- 20 days
- 25 days
Correct answer: 28 days
Base: 15 days. Management: +5 = 20. Used 12 of 20, leaving 8. 8 < 10 max carryover. This year: 20 + 8 = 28.
3 years = 15 base. +5 management = 20 total. Last year: 20-12 = 8 unused, all carry over. This year: 20+8 = 28.
Question 4: Three tracks: Arts (painting, music), Science (biology, chemistry), Technology (programming, robotics). One track only, no cross-track courses. Alex takes biology. What must be true?
- Alex also takes painting
- Alex takes biology and chemistry but not painting, music, programming, or robotics (Correct answer)
- Alex takes all six courses
- Alex is in Technology
Correct answer: Alex takes biology and chemistry but not painting, music, programming, or robotics
Biology is Science track. Alex must take all Science courses (biology, chemistry) and cannot take courses from other tracks.
Biology = Science track. One track only = Science. Must take both Science courses. Cannot take any Arts or Technology courses.
Question 5: 'International flights after 10 PM require additional screening. Flight 552 to Tokyo departs at 10:30 PM. Domestic flights are exempt.' What can be deduced about Flight 552?
- It definitely requires screening
- It requires screening only if it is an international flight (Correct answer)
- It is exempt because it departs close to 10 PM
- It requires screening because all Tokyo flights are international
Correct answer: It requires screening only if it is an international flight
Flight 552 departs after 10 PM but we must confirm it is international. The passage doesn't explicitly state this.
The rule requires both conditions: international AND after 10 PM. The time condition is met (10:30 PM). Whether it's international depends on departure country. Strict logical deduction: screening required IF international.
Question 6: Research rules: must be over 18, provide consent, no heart conditions. Max 10 sessions, $50 each. Tom is 22, has consent, no heart conditions, completed 8 sessions. Can he do 2 more?
- Yes, he meets all criteria and has 2 sessions remaining (Correct answer)
- No, 8 is the maximum
- Yes, but only with medical clearance
- No, moderate exercise is risky after 8 sessions
Correct answer: Yes, he meets all criteria and has 2 sessions remaining
Tom meets all criteria: 22>18, consent signed, no heart conditions, 8<10 session limit.
All requirements met: age (22>18), consent (signed), health (no heart conditions), sessions (8 of 10, 2 remaining). Tom can participate in 2 more sessions.
