IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS: ANSWER ONLY 50 QUESTIONS. Do not answer more than 50 questions. If you answer more than 50 questions, then you will be graded on only the first 50 of these, regardless of whether the extra questions are answered correctly. Choose any 50 questions on the basis of your knowledge of the material. A good strategy is to first attempt to answer all 60 questions, but spend no more than 1 minute on any one. Then choose the 50 with which you are most confident, and then, and only then, transcribe your answers to the answer sheet. Be careful to record your answers on the appropriate number of the answer sheet. Completely blacken the letter of your choice. Completely strike out the number and all letters of the questions you choose not to answer.
Turn in only your answer sheet. You may keep the questions. e.g., to indicate response "B", do this: 12) A B C D E ; don't do this: 12) A B C D E e.g., to omit a question, do this 12) A B C D E ; don't just leave it blank
