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

Print your name and the name of your school on the lines above.
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 39 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 he 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.
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 hooklet.
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 and a straightedge (ruler) must be available for you to use while taking this
examination.

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