If your last name is longer than 12 letters, print only the first 12 letters. • first: print the first 7 letters of your first name. • mi: print the initial of your middle name. Look at the columns of CIRCLES BELOW THE BLOCKS: • Find the letter that is thesame as the letter you have printed in the block above. • Darken the circle completely so that you cannot see the letter inside. • Do this for all the letters of your last name, first name, and your middle initial. • Darken only one circle in each of the columns. Look at the BOTTOM LEFT of your answer sheet. • birthdate: find the month you were born and darken the circle next to it. • day: print theday you were born. If it is a one-digit day, write zero first. Darken the circles underneath these numbers. • year: print the last two digits of the year you were born. Darken the circles underneath these numbers. • sex: darken the circle “M” (male) or “F” (female). • lang.

This test may be machine scored, so you must follow instructions carefully: • Do not bend or fold your answer sheet. • Mark all your answers on the separate answer sheet, not in the test booklet. • Use a number 2 (soft) pencil. • Your mark mustbe dark enough to be picked up by the scanning machine. The scanner cannot see very light marks. • Do not make any other marks on your answer sheet. • If you change your mind about an answer, erase your first mark completely. • Fill in only one circle for each problem. • Any problem with more than one answer marked will be counted wrong. • If you are not sure about an answer, you may guess. Wheninstructed to, open your test booklet and check to see that it is complete. Check the pages quickly. You should have 5 numbered pages in your test booklet. If there are pages missing from your booklet, raise your hand, and a proctor will give you a replacement.
