Do not be concerned that the answer sheet provides spaces for more answers than there are
items in this test
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
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
The correct answer to this item is "Momentum, pressure", so (C) has been shaded.
6. If you want to change your answer, erase it completely before you fill in your new choice.
7. 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, go on to the next one You may return to that item later.
