Directions: In the Answer Sheet provided, shade the box of the letter that
corresponds to your answers. Pencil should be used in marking your
answers. Careless marking of your answer sheet may lower the scores you
earn on this test.
You will have two (2) hours for this test. Work as rapidly and as
accurately as you can. If you are not sure of an answer, mark the choice
which is your best guess. Only one answer should be marked for each
problem. Should a mistake be made, merely erase or cross out the wrong
box and mark the correct one.
