Saville Assessment Test Answers PDF & Practice Questions (2024)

Correct Answer

The passage deals with the directionality of the connection between the arts and the economy, suggesting a possible “happiness factor” hypothesis linking the arts to the attraction of talented people, which in turn may contribute to economic growth (raising income). It does not lead to the conclusion made in the assertion that: “Talented people contribute to economic growth” but only suggests this directional connection.

Correct Answer

The passage describes, in two different places, the ways in which the arts and the economy are related. In one place it suggests that: “… the case for continued arts funding is clear-cut - enjoying the arts (visiting art galleries and theatres) boosts the economy,” eliminating distracters A and D. In another place it offers a different connection: “According to the 'happiness factor' hypothesis, when a place develops a critical mass of arts and vibrancy it tends to attract talented people which, in turn, tends to raise income,” eliminating distracter B (as raising income is a way of improving the economy). Therefore, the correct answer is C - buying art is not mentioned in the passage as a means of improving the economy.

Correct Answer

We need to calculate how many global hectares are occupied by USA and Japan, and then compare between them on a percentage change basis.

USA: (300 mil) x (8 gha/person)=2,400 global hectares

Japan: (125 mil)x(5 gha/person)=625 global hectares

% change = (Difference/Original)x100% = [(2400 - 625)/625]x100% = [(2400/625)-(625/625)]x100% = [(2,400/625)-1]x100% = 284%

Correct Answer

This question is not just about adding up all the ecological footprint values and then dividing that of Japan by the calculated sum. We must bring into consideration the population of each country:

GHA = Ecological Footprint x Population

South Africa: 50x2.5 = 125
France: 60x5 = 300
Romania: 25x2.5 = 62.5
Germany: 75x3 = 225
Japan: 125x5 = 625
USA: 300x8 = 2400

Total GHA: 125+300+62.5+225+625+2400 = 3737.5.
Japan's GHA: 625

Japan’s ratio: 625/3737.5 = 0.167
The correct answer is approximately 17%.

In this question we must figure out what the missing input looked like, based on the two operators that appear. 

We know that operator M deletes the second shape, and this is actually all we need - we simply use elimination. 

Since the output shows two small black circles and one large black triangle, we can see that all the options other than A must be wrong. If we would put any of the other options in the input, operator M would have deleted either a small black circle or a large black triangle, meaning that the output couldn't appear as it does.

This is why option A is the only viable option, and the correct one. 

Note - we can see that operator S reverses the order of the shapes. 

Correct Answer

The correct answer is (B).

There are three rules in this series: frequency, motion, and progression.
First, each step, the shapes alternate between a circle and a square. This means that in the missing frame, the shape should be a square.

Second, the shape moves between different spots in the frame: the top left corner, the centre of the frame, the bottom right corner, and back again. This means that in the missing frame, the square should be in the bottom right corner.

Third, the shapes are divided into four quarter. Every step, one other quarter changes colour in an anticlockwise direction. First, the quarters change colours from white to dark blue until the shape is completely dark, and then it starts to change back to white. This means that the shape in the missing frame should be a square with left white quarters, and dark rightquarters.

The only answer that fits these rules is answer (B).
