You will have I hour and 30 minutes to answer them. In addition to this test booklet, you should have an answer sheet. ‘Do not be concemed that the answer sheet provides spaces for more answers than there are items in this est. Each item in this test has four suggested answers lettered (A), (B), (C), (D). Read each item you are about to answer and decide which choice is best. (On your answer sheet, find the number which corresponds to your item and shade the space having the same letter as the answer you have chosen. Look at the sample item below. ‘Sample Liem Which of the following lists has one scalar quantity and one vector quantity? + (A) Mass : temperature (B) Momentum : pressure ©@60 (C) Force : veloci (D) Potential energy : volt ‘The correct answer to this item is “Momentum : pressure”, so (B) has been shaded. If you want to change your answer, be sure to erase it completely before you fill in your new choice. When you are told to begin, turn the page and work as quickly and as carefully as you can. Ifyou cannot answer an item, go on to the next one, You may return to that item later. ‘You may do any rough work in this booklet.
