2. This examination consists of two parts. The time allowed for each will be approximately 60 minutes. Should you finish Part I early, you may proceed to Part II.

3. Part I consists of 16 objective-type questions. Each question has five possible answers marked: A., B., C., D., E. Only one answer is correct. You are to circle the letter corresponding to the correct response for as many problems as you can.

   Example: If x=5 and y=-2, then x+4y is

           (A) -3    (B) -2    (C) -1    (D) 0    (E) +1.

4. Part II consists of 4 subjective-type questions. Show a summary of your work in this booklet for each question you attempt, whether or not you obtain a complete solution. Scratch paper is provided but be sure to show the essential steps of your work concisely in the space provided for each question. Only the work appearing in this booklet will be scored. You will be scored on your method of attack, ingenuity, insight, inventiveness, and logical developments as well as your solutions.

5. Pencils and scratch paper will be provided. No tables, rulers, compasses, protractors, slide rules, calculators, or other aids are permitted.

6. 1. The scoring of questions in Part I has been devised to discourage random guessing and will be computed as follows:
      (three times number correct) - (number wrong).

   2. The scoring for the three questions in Part II will be 13 points per question. Partial credit will be given so it will be to your advantage to do as much as you are able to do on each question.

7. For the scoring committee. Do not write in this space.

   Part I: No. Correct: __________ No. Wrong: __________

   Part II: Score in 1: __________ Score in 2: __________ Score in 3: __________ Score in 4: __________

   Score in Part I: __________ Score in Part II: __________ T O T A L : __________
