Before filling in your name and PeopleSoft-ID, please check that the color of your scantron sheet matches thecolor of your test. In column J of the scantron sheet blacken the circle corresponding to the color of yourexam: white = 1; blue = 2; pink = 3; yellow = 4. Proceed with the exam, choosing the best answer for eachof the following questions and blackening the proper circle on the answer sheet with a Number 2 pencil.Read each question carefully before marking the best answer on your scantron sheet.Work thoughtfully.Make educated guesses if necessary. Even wild guessing throughout should net you 20% of the total points,on the average.
