Print .y our name and the name of .your school on the lines above. Then turn to
the last page of this booklet" which is the answer sheet for Part I. Fold the last page
along the perforations and, slowly and carefully, tear off the answer sheet. Then fill
in the heading of your answer sheet.
This examination has four parts, with a total of 38 questions. You must answer
all questions in this examination. Write your answers to the Part I multiple-choice
questions on the separate answer sheet. \Vrite your answers to the questions in
Parts II, III, and IV directly in this booklet. All work should be written in pen, except
graphs and drawings, which should be done in pencil. Clearly indicate the necessary
steps, including appropriate formula substitutions, diagrams, graphs, charts, etc.
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 hut 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.
\Vhen 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.

The use of any communications device is strictly prohibited when taking this
examjnation. If you use any communications device, no matter how briefly, your
examination will be invalidated and no score will be calculated for you.

DO NOT OPEN THIS EXAMINATION BOOKLET U~TIL THE SIGNAL IS GIVEN.
