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. Keep the questions for future study.
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
