Section 3 Questions 16 – 20
Read the text and questions below. On your answer sheet, shade the circle that corresponds to the letter of the
answer you have chosen with a pencil.

After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools in the
United States have started to face harder times. Only Harvard's MBA School has shown a substantial increase
in enrollment in recent years. Both Princeton and Stanford have seen decreases in their enrollments. Since
1990, the number of people receiving Masters in Business Administration (MBA) degrees, has dropped about
3 percent to 75,000, and the trend of lower enrollment rates is expected to continue.
There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree. The first one is that
many graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a plush job on Wall
Street, or in other financial districts of major American cities. Many of the entry-level management jobs are
going to students graduating with Master of Arts degrees in English and the humanities as well as those
holding MBA degrees. Students have asked the question "Is an MBA degree really what I need to be best
prepared for getting a good job?" The second major factor has been the cutting of American payrolls and the
lower number of entry-level jobs being offered. Business needs are changing, and MBA schools are struggling
to meet the new demands.
16. What is the main focus of this passage?
A. jobs on Wall Street
B. types of graduate degrees
C. changes in enrollment for MBA schools
D. how schools are changing to reflect the economy
17. The phrase “two decades” in line 1 refers to a period of
A. 10 years
B. 20 years
C. 50 years
D. 100 years
18. Which of the following descriptions most likely applies to Wall Street?
A. a center for international affairs
B. a major financial center
C. a shopping district
D. a neighborhood in New York
19. According to the passage, what are two causes of declining business school enrollments?
A. lack of necessity for an MBA and an economic recession
B. low salary and foreign competition
C. fewer MBA schools and fewer entry-level jobs
D. declining population and economic prosperity

A. MBA schools’ efforts to change
B. future economic predictions
C. a history of the recent economic changes
