General Directions:
1. Use recommended pencil only for SHADING.
2. Except for a small dot beside the choices, any other markings (e.g., circle, slash, etc.) found on the questionnaire, will INVALIDATE your answer.
3. No borrowing and exchanging of ANYTHING during the exam. No talking to, looking at, and hearing from anyone or anything except your instructor.
4. Any form of CHEATING would merit a grade of 0.0.

If any of you need wisdom, you should ask God, and it will be given to you. God is generous and won’t correct you for asking.
~ James 1:5 CEV
