� Some of these questions are short. They ask you to write an answer and
to explain your thinking using words. Each of these items is worth two
points.
� Others ask for more details or more thinking. These questions also
provide you with more room for your answer. Each of these items is
worth four points.
Here are some important things to remember as you take this test:
1. Read each question carefully and think about the answer.
2. If answer choices are given, choose the best answer by filling in the circle in
front of your answer.
3. If an answer box is provided, write your answer neatly and clearly inside
the box and show all your work. Cross out or erase any work you do not
want as part of your answer.
