Instructions

1. This is a 25-question, multiple choice test. Each

question is followed by answers marked A, B, C, D and
E. Only one of these is correct.
2. You will receive 6 points for each correct answer, 2.5
points for each problem left unanswered if the year is
before 2006, 1.5 points for each problem left
unanswered if the year is after 2006, and 0 points for
each incorrect answer.
3. No aids are permitted other than scratch paper, graph
paper, ruler, compass, protractor and erasers (and
calculators that are accepted for use on the SAT if
before 2006. No problems on the test will require the
use of a calculator).
4. Figures are not necessarily drawn to scale.
5. You will have 75 minutes working time to complete
