Administering the Test
? Remove this answer sheet from the book and use it to record your answers to this test. ? This test will require 2 hours and 10 minutes to complete. Take this test in one sitting. ? Use a stopwatch to time yourself on each section. The time limit for each section is written clearly at the
beginning of each section. The first four sections are 25 minutes long, and the last section is 30 minutes long. ? Each response must completely fill the oval. Erase all stray marks completely, or they may be interpreted
as responses. ? You must stop ALL work on a section when time is called. ? If you finish a section before the time has elapsed, check your work on that section. You may NOT move on
to the next section until time is called. ? Do not waste time on questions that seem too difficult for you. ? Use the test book for scratchwork, but you will only receive credit for answers that are marked on the answer
sheets.
Scoring the Test
? Your scaled score, which will be determined from a conversion table, is based on your raw score for each section.
? You will receive one point toward your raw score for every correct answer. ? You will receive no points toward your raw score for an omitted question. ? For each wrong answer on a multiple-choice question, your raw score will be reduced by 1/4 point. For each
wrong answer on a numerical "grid-in" question (Section 4, questions 29 ?38), your raw score will receive no deduction.
