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
