Sample Question Paper For FEAT-FLAME Entrance Aptitude Test :
1 : One of the major components of the admission test to FLAME’s (FEATFLAME Entrance Aptitude Test) undergraduate program is verbal ability in English. Questions will be asked to test the candidate’s familiarity with English vocabulary, usage, and grammar on the one hand, and ability to read and write texts on the other.

2 :There will be a variety of questions on all the components. There will, for example, be questions to test the candidate’s factual, inferential, and critical comprehension of passages. Similarly, their ability to write coherently and in a consistent style will be tested.

3 :The Multiple Choice format with only one right answer will be used throughout the test.

4 :The sample below illustrates some of the different kinds of questions that can be expected. At the undergraduate and postgraduate levels similar same patterns of questions may be expected but the difficulty levels will be different.

Reading Text :
In lots of people’s minds, the mystery of what killed the dinosaurs and other species — paving the way for the rise of mammals — was solved a couple of decades ago : a giant asteroid or comet slamming into the Earth, resulting in a dust cloud that shrouded the sun, cooled the planet dramatically and killed off plants and animals wholesale. It’s a compelling story, but plenty of scientists never completely bought it. The dinosaurs died pretty quickly, they admit, but not quite abruptly enough to be explained this way. So alternative theories — the dinosaurs succumbed to allergies, from the rise of flowering plants, or to world-shaking volcanoes in what’s now India, or to disease — have always bubbled around the periphery of the conventional wisdom.

Question-1 : According to this passage when did mammals emerge on earth-
A. After the disappearance of dinosaurs.
B. Before the emergence of dinosaurs.
C. At the same time as the dinosaurs emerged.
D. A few thousand years ago.

Question-2 : What is the most widely held explanation for the extinction of dinosaurs-
A. A worldwide epidemic.
B. Volcanic eruptions in India.
C. Extremely low temperature.
D. Dust allergy.

Question-3 : If you call a story ‘compelling’, you
A. force others to read it.
B. find it extremely interesting.
C. find it so boring that you have to be compelled to read it.
D. find it difficult to believe.

D. Talk about the relationship between dinosaurs and mammals.

Question-6 : Which of the following would make the best summary of the paragraph-
A. A giant asteroid or comet slamming into the Earth caused a dust cloud that cut off sunrays and the resulting low temperature caused dinosaurs to die.
B. The dinosaurs disappeared pretty quickly, but not abruptly because they were present all over the earth.
C. There are many explanations for the disappearance of dinosaurs some of which are conventional.
D. Although the disappearance of dinosaurs is generally attributed to a dramatic drop in earth’s temperature following an asteroid hitting the earth, there are several other plausible theories.

This includes Ratio and proportion, Percentages, Rate of interest, Basic algebra and elementary problems in geometry (straight lines, triangles, quadrilaterals). Emphasis will be on word problems. Problems may be of the following type,

Reasoning :
The reasoning section tests the student on analytical and logical reasoning skills. Analytical reasoning questions test the ability of a student to analyse relationships and to make inferences about those relationships. The first part of an analytical reasoning question introduce a set of variablespeople, places, things etc- and these variable are involved in an easy to understand activity like-sitting, scheduling etc. The second part of the question introduces rules which govern the relationship between the variables. The final part will involve answering 1 to 5 questions, on the understanding of the student of the rules and variables, making inferences from them and how essential features of the situation change as and when new conditions are introduced or when old rules are revised. For example, Rajan must play five games-A,B,C,D and E- one after the other but not necessarily in the same order. The sequence in which the games are played must obey the following conditions.

Rajan plays exactly two games between playing D and E. Game A is played immediately after game B is played. Questions 9 to 10 are based on this scenario.

Question-9 : In the sequence of games to be played, A can be
A. The fifth game
B. Fourth game
C. Second game
D. First game

Question-10 : If D is the fourth game to be played, then the first game to be played is
A. E
B. C
C. B
D. A

Logical reasoning problems involve a small argument and questions may be asked on the validity of the argument or to arrive at a conclusion given a set of hypothesis (facts). There may also be questions on determining the relevance of a fact in strengthening or weakening the argument.

A. All edible things are fruits.
B. Only some apples are edible.
C. If it is not an apple then it cannot be a fruit.

A. If you are kind then you will be hurt.
B. You should not be kind.
C. You will never get hurt.
D. Either you will be kind or you will get hurt.

Question-13 : Consider the following argument.
The fact that there was never a land bridge between Australia and mainland Asia is evidenced by the fact that the animal species in the two areas are very different. Asian placental mammals and Australian marsupial mammals have not been in contact in the last several million years.

Which of the following will weaken the above argument :
A. Australia was always an island.
B. Fossils of marsupial mammals have been discovered in Asia.
