READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. 1.
This test consists of 60 items. You will have 1 hour and 15 minutes to answer them.
2.
In addition to this test booklet, you should have an answer sheet.
3.
Each item in this test has four suggested answers lettered (A), (B), (C), (D). Read each item you are about to answer and decide which choice is best.
4.
On your answer sheet, find the number which corresponds to your item and shade the space having the same letter as the answer you have chosen. Look at the sample item below. Sample Item . The SI unit of length is the
(A) (B) (C) (D)
Sample Answer
e®©®
metre newton second kilogram
The best answer to this item is "metre", so answer space (A) has been shaded. 5.
If you want to change your answer, erase it completely before you fill in your new choice.
6. When you are told to begin, turn the page and work as quickly and as carefully as you can. If you cannot answer an item, go on to the next one. You may return to this item later. Your score will be the total number of correct answers. 7. You may do any rough work in this booklet. 8. Figures are not necessarily drawn to scale.
