Don't forget to write down your name, student ID#, and section number. You need to do this on this page of your test book and on your Scantron sheet as well, where you should fill in your student ID number under Identification Number and your three digit section number starting with "3" under special codes. 2. Answer all multiple questions in this test book by indicating the best answer among choices. You must do this both on your test book and on your Scantron sheet. Follow instructions on the Scantron sheet on how to mark valid answers. 3. When you finish, you need to turn in both this test book and the Scantron sheet. 4. Use the blank sides of question pages as additional draft spaces. An extra bank sheet is provided at the end of the test book. 5. Only one answer is allowed per problem/question/ All problems have equal weight.
