­Yes, these are from the six official mocks, and one is advised to try these after having taken the mocks so as to not inflate the score unknowingly.

Alright, I got this one right on a mock official test so will attempt to give it a shot here. It took me 2:07 with caution, but I am sure you can get it done faster than I did.

Drop-down 1: I just eyeballed the amount: Y1 = ~$75B and Y2 = ~$60B so the decline amount from Y1 to Y2 is ~$15B and the correct range is "10 - 20"

Drop-down 2: I again eyeballed and I noticed source D had a big drop compared to others so I started there first. Y1 = ~$40B and Y2 = ~$28B so the decline from Y1 to Y2 = ~$12B, which is more than half of the total decline from drop down 1 (which is ~$15B).

Can you please explain how source D is greater than source C? I answered source C bc the range was greater ~64 - ~49 = ~15, which is greater than ~12.

The decline of product C is only five or 6 billion. You are double counting decline of D into the decline of C.

It used to be 40 to 65 And now it’s 29 to 49. So that’s 6 billion worth of decline.
