A separate answer sheet for Part I has been provided to you. Follow the instructions from the
proctor for completing the student information on your answer sheet.
This examination has four parts, with a total of 35 questions. You must answer all questions
in this examination. Record your answers to the Part I multiple-choice questions on the separate
answer sheet. Write your answers to the questions in Parts II, III, and IV directly in this booklet.
All work should be written in pen, except for graphs and drawings, which should be done in
pencil. Clearly indicate the necessary steps, including appropriate formula substitutions, diagrams,
graphs, charts, etc. Utilize the information provided for each question to determine your answer.
Note that diagrams are not necessarily drawn to scale.
The formulas that you may need to answer some questions in this examination are found at the
end of the examination. This sheet is perforated so you may remove it from this booklet.
Scrap paper is not permitted for any part of this examination, but you may use the blank spaces
in this booklet as scrap paper. A perforated sheet of scrap graph paper is provided at the end of this
booklet for any question for which graphing may be helpful but is not required. You may remove
this sheet from this booklet. Any work done on this sheet of scrap graph paper will not be scored.
When you have completed the examination, you must sign the statement printed at the end of
the answer sheet, indicating that you had no unlawful knowledge of the questions or answers prior
to the examination and that you have neither given nor received assistance in answering any of the
questions during the examination. Your answer sheet cannot be accepted if you fail to sign this
declaration.

Notice…
A graphing calculator, a straightedge (ruler), and a compass must be available for you
to use while taking this examination.

DO NOT OPEN THIS EXAMINATION BOOKLET UNTIL THE SIGNAL IS GIVEN.
