General Instructions

• Arrive early: Be at the exam room 30 minutes prior to start time.

• Do not block doorways or fire exits with coats and bags.

• Fill in your bubble sheet carefully with the correct student information.

• Do not redistribute exam papers; each student receives only one version.
