TEST 1 - 19 September 2014
Instructions: Fill out your name and PID number on the top left portion of the scantron sheet. (PID goes where it says identification number). Answer the questions on the test by darkening the circle containing the correct numbered response for each question. Double check to make sure that the question numbers on the test corresponds with those on the scantron sheet. Be sure to use a #2 pencil!
