READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUC.'TIONS CAREFULLY.

This test corrsists of 45 items. You will have,l hour and 30 minutes to answer them.

2. In addition to this test booklet, yotl should have an answer sheet and a data booklet.

3. Each item ir, this test has fgur suggested answers lettered (A), (B), (C), (D). Read each item
you are about to answer and decide which choice is best.
4. On your ansr,ver sheet, find the number which corresponds to your item and shade the space
lraving the same letter as the answer you have chosen. Look at the sample item below.

(A)
(B)
ntoo*
otoo* @o o@
(c) n to 7t*
(D) 7t to 7I{,

The correct answer to this item is "o to o*", so (B) has been shaded.

5- If you want to change your answer, erase it comptete ly 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 that item later.
