READ THE FOLLO\VING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.

I. This test consists of 45 items. You will have 90 minutes to answer them.

2. In addition to this test booklet, you should have an answer sheet and a Data Booklet.

3. Each item in this test has four suggested answers lettered (A), (B). (C). (D). Read each item
you are about to answer and decide which choice is best.
4. On your answer sheet, find the number which corresponds to your item and shade the space
having the same letter as the answer you have chosen. Look at the sample item below.

Sample Item

Which of the following is the HIGHEST energy transition fo an organic compound?

(A) n to cr* Sample Answer

(B) n ton*
(C)
(D)
cr to <r*
x to n*
@®•@
The best answer to this item is "cr to cr*". so answer space (C) has been shaded.

5. If you want to change your answer, be sure to erase it completely before you fill in your new
choice.
6. When you are told to begin, turn the page and work as quickly and as carefully as you can. If
you cannot answer an item, omit it and go on to the next one. You can come back to the omitted
item later. Ybur score will be the total number of con-ect answers.
7. You may do any rough work in this booklet.
