SECOND QUARTERLY EXAMINATION IN GRADE 8 MATHEMATICS

DIRECTIONS: 1. Shade the circle of the letter that corresponds to your answer. Make
sure that the circle is fully shaded to receive full credit.
2. Once the circle is shaded, it means the answer is final and cannot be
changed by erasing or shading another one. Any form of erasure and
having multiple answers for item merit no point for that particular item, so
be careful in selecting your answer.
