    The College Board: Connecting Students to College Success ‘The College Board is a not-for-profit membership association whose mission is to connect, students to college success and opportunity. Founded in 1900, the association is composed of more than 4700 schools, colleges, universities, and other educational organizations. Each yar, the College Board serves over three and a half million students and their parents, 23,000 high schools, and 3,500 colleges through major programs and services in college admissions, guidance, assessment, financial aid, enrollment, and teaching and learning, Among its best: Jknown programs are the SAT®, the PSAT/NMSOT®, and the Advanced Placement Program® (AP®). The College Board is committed to the principles of excellence and equity, and that ‘commitment is embodied in all of its programs, services, activities, and concerns, ‘or further information, visit www.collegeboard.com. The College Board and the Advanced Placement Program encourage teachers, AP Coordinators, and school administrators to make equitable access a guiding principle for their AP programs. ‘The College Board is committed to the principle that all students deserve an opportunity to participate in rigorous and academically challenging courses and programs. All students who are willing to accept the challenge of a rigorous academic curriculum should be considered fo admission to AP courses, The Board encourages the elimination of barriers that restrict act to AP courses for students from ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic groups that have been traditionally underrepresented in the AP Program. Schools should make every effort to ensure that their AP classes reflect the diversity of their student population, For more information about equity and access in principle and practice, contact the National Office in New York, Copyright © 2006 by College Entiance Examination Hoard Al rights reserved.

However, calculators may be used in Section II only, NOT in Section I. Calculators may not be shared. Section I of this examination contains 70 multiple-choice questions. Therefore, please be careful to fill in only the ‘ovals that are preceded by numbers 1 through 70 on your answer sheet. Also, please be careful to fill in the ovals, preceded by the numbers 101 through 106 when answering the survey questions. A table of information that may be |helpfal is found on page 2 of this book. General Instructions DONOTOPEN THIS BOOKLET UNTIL YOU ARE INSTRUCTED TO DOSO. INDICATE ALL YOUR ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS IN SECTION I ON THE SEPARATE ANSWER SHEET. ‘No credit will be given for anything written inthis examination booklet, but you may use the booklet for notes or seratchwork. After you have decided which of the suggested answers is best, COMPLETELY fill inthe corresponding oval on the answer sheet. Give only one answer to each question. If you change an answer, be sure that the previous mark is erased completely. Example: Ss wer Chicago is a DE®oO (A) state (B) city (©) country @) continent ©) village Many candidates wonder whether or not to guess the answers to questions about which they are not certain. In this section of the examination, as a correction for haphazard guessing, one-fourth of the number of questions you answer incorrectly ‘will be subtracted from the number of questions you answer correctly. It is improbable, therefore, that mere guessing will improve your score significantly; it may even lower your score, and it does take time. If, however, you are not sure of the ‘correct answer but have some knowledge of the question and are able to eliminate one or more of the answer choices as ‘wrong, your chance of getting the right answer is improved, and it may be to your advantage to answer such a question. Use your time effectively, working as rapidly as you can without losing accuracy. Do not spend too much time on {questions that are too difficult. Go on to other questions and come back to the difficult ones later if you have time. It is rot expected that everyone will be able to answer all the multiple-choice questions. 15 The following conventions are used in this examination. 1. Unless otherwise stated, the frame of reference of any problem is assumed to be inertial UL. The direction of any electric current is the direction of flow of positive charge (conventional current). II. For any isolated electric charge, the electric potential is defined as zero at an infinite distance from the charge. TV. For mechanics and thermodynamics equations, W represents the work done on a system.
