Online Bookstore such as Amazon is a good place to start. You can also try mba.com but it is pricey there.
PS. You will not find the official guide book here.

____________________________
CR 1

As part of a study conducted by the Lexington University’s Psychology Department, two groups of volunteers from the university’s classical music program performed Claude Debussy’s Claire de Luna. Then, one group was provided verbal feedback in a jovial tone, while the other was provided verbal feedback in a neutral tone. Some volunteers, chosen randomly from each group, were then encouraged to enjoy a warm beverage of their choice. Among those who received verbal feedback in a neutral tone, those who accepted a beverage were significantly less likely to volunteer for another, similar experiment than those who did not accept a beverage. The researchers concluded that some of the volunteers chose not to volunteer again, partly because they received feedback in a neutral tone.

Which of the following would, if true, most help to support the researchers' conclusion?

A. Among the volunteers who received feedback in a jovial tone, those who accepted a beverage were significantly less likely to volunteer for another, similar experiment than those who did not accept a beverage.
B. Just as many volunteers from one group were encouraged to enjoy warm beverages as from another group.
C. Most of the volunteers encouraged to enjoy a beverage accepted one.
D. The volunteers were not more disposed to drinking warm beverages under typical circumstances than the general population was.
E. Those who received feedback in a jovial tone were, on average, more likely to volunteer for another, similar experiment than those who received feedback in a neutral tone were.

________________________
CR 2

Looking to improve student performance in the suburb of Backport, the Mayor of Grantsville has decided to initiate a series of improvement projects for the three public schools that serve the suburb. The Mayor plans to fund these improvements over the course of the next four years by raising property taxes in the neighboring suburb of Gadsen. Although these improvements are surely needed, the Mayor’s plan to fund them should be rejected because it would unfairly force the residents of Gadsen to absorb the entire cost of initiatives from which they receive no benefit.

Which of the following, if true, would provide the Mayor with the strongest counter to the objection that her plan is unfair?

A. Even with the proposed tax increase, property taxes in Gadsen would remain less than property taxes levied in most of the other suburbs of the city.
B. The public schools that serve the suburb of Gadsen are overcrowded and residents of the suburb benefit when some families choose to send their children to schools in neighboring suburbs.
C. The residents of Gadsen benefit from the commuter roads leading to the city center, and the maintenance of these roads is funded out of general income tax revenues from both Backport and Gadsen.
D. Any attempt to finance the improvements by raising property taxes in Backport would result in fewer families with school-going children moving to Backport and so would be at least partially self-defeating.
E. The only alternative way to fund the proposed improvement initiatives now being considered is through a regional income tax surcharge, which would affect the residents of Backport and the residents of Gadsen alike.

In the year following an eight-cent increase in the federal tax on a pack of cigarettes, sales of
cigarettes fell ten percent. In contrast, in the year prior to the tax increase, sales had fallen one
percent. The volume of cigarette sales is therefore strongly related to the after-tax price of a pack of
cigarettes.
Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the argument given?
(A) During the year following the tax increase, the pretax price of a pack of cigarettes did not increase
by as much as it had during the year prior to the tax increase.

(B) The one percent fall in cigarette sales in the year prior to the tax increase was due to a smaller tax
increase.

(C) The pretax price of a pack of cigarettes gradually decreased throughout the year before and after
the tax increase

(D) For the year following the tax increase, the pretax price of a pack of cigarettes was not eight or
more cents lower than it had been in the previous year.

(E) As the after-tax price of a pack of cigarettes rises, the pretax price also rises.

Agriculturalists have noted that soil with an abnormally low proportion of nutrients such as magnesium and potassium is usually acidic, which severely hampers crop growth. Thus, agriculturalists recommend treating soil with nutrient-heavy fertilizers such as lime, wood ash, and Epsom salts to prevent soil acidity.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly suggests that it would not be advisable to follow the agriculturists’ recommendation?

A. Soil acidity alters the chemistry of soil in a way that makes it difficult for it to absorb nutrients such as magnesium and potassium.
B. Soil acidity can resolve itself without intervention, sometimes.
C. Lime contains elements that are not easily absorbed by many types of soil.
D. Epsom salts are not easily available in all regions.
E. Low magnesium and potassium levels in soil can in some cases be fixed through composting.

CR 2

A carbon credit is a permit that allows a company to produce a certain amount of greenhouse gases. The government issues the credits to companies who invest in environmental initiatives. After reaching their limit for greenhouse gas production, larger companies sell their remaining credits to smaller companies for less than the smaller companies would need to invest in environmental initiatives to earn the credits themselves. This practice has resulted in a drop in investment in environmental initiatives.

To discourage the purchase and sale of carbon credits, it would be best if the government restricted

A. how many credits a company can earn per year
B. the industries that can use the credits
C. in which months of the year the additional credits can be used
D. how much time may elapse between the issuing and use of the credits
E. the use of the credits to the companies that earned them and the companies’ subsidiaries
