MATHEMATICS LEVEL 2 TEST
For each of the following problems, decide which is the BEST of the choices given. If the exact numerical value
is not one of the choices, select the choice that best approximates this value. Then fill in the corresponding circle
on the answer sheet

Note: (1) A scientific or graphing calculator will be necessary for answering some (but not all) of the questions
in this test. For each question you will have to decide whether or not you should use a calculator.

(2) For some questions in this test you may have to decide whether your calculator should be in the radian
mode or the degree mode.

(3) Figures that accompany problems in this test are intended to provide information useful in solving the
problems. They are drawn as accurately as possible EXCEPT when it is stated in a specific problem that its
figure is not drawn to scale. All figures lie in a plane unless otherwise indicated.

(4) Unless otherwise specified, the domain of any function f is assumed to be the set of all real numbers
x for which f ( x) is a real number. The range of f is assumed to be the set of all real numbers f ( x) , where x
is in the domain of f .

(5) Reference information that may be useful in answering the questions in this test can be found on the
page preceding Question 1.
