4. Each iten1 in this test has four suggested answers lettered (A), (B), (C), (D). Read each item
you are about to answer and decide which choice is best.
5. On your answer sheet, find the number which corresponds to your item and shade the space
having the same letter as the answer you have chosen. Look at the sample item below.
Sample Item
The best answer to this item is "Momentum : pressure", so answer space (B) has been shaded.
6. If you want to change your answer, be sure to erase it completely before you fill in your new
choice.
7. When you are told to begin, tum the page and work as quickly and as carefully as you can.
