INSTRUCTIONS

• CIRCLE THE "*" IMMEDIATELY PRECEEDING ANY CORRECT ANSWER.
• A QUESTION MAY HAVE MORE THAN ONE CORRECT ANSWER. IF SO, CIRCLE THE "*"s PRECEEDING ALL OF THEM.
• DO NOT CIRCLE THE WHOLE ANSWER.
• DO NOT CROSS OUT THE WRONG ANSWERS.
• IF YOU MAKE ANY CHANGES TO YOUR ANSWER MAKE SURE YOUR FINAL CHOICES ARE CLEAR.
• IF YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO PICK SEVERAL QUESTIONS NOT TO ANSWER, CLEARLY CROSS OUT THE QUESTIONS YOU CHOOSE NOT TO ANSWER. IF YOU HAVE ANSWERED TOO MANY QUESTIONS YOU WILL LOSE ANY BONUS POINTS FOR DOING THE TEST CORRECTLY, AND THOSE QUESTIONS AT THE END OF THE TEST WHICH MAKE FOR TOO MANY WILL NOT BE GRADED.
• YOU MAY WRITE IN COMMENTS ON THE RIGHT AND BOTTOM MARGINS OF THE PAGE AND BELOW THE QUESTIONS BUT DO NOT WRITE OR MAKE ANY MARKS IN THE TOP OR LEFT MARGINS OF THE TEST PAGES.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Points are given only for correct
answers chosen.  No points are 
given for incorrect answers not 
chosen.
Thus if you choose all the correct
answers and do not choose any in-
correct answers you get 10 points.
If you do not choose any correct
answers you do not get any points.

Also: always at least make a guess
on any question you have not 
crossed out (you can't get less
than zero on incorrectly answered
questions).

You may use this scale to check your
scores on multiple-choice questions.
If your score on any question is lower
than it should be according to this
scale, let me know right away (within
 two weeks from the time I return the tests
 in class)and I will change your grade.
