Instructions—
Turn off your cell phone and put it away.
Calculators cannot be shared. Please keep yours on your own desk.
This is a closed book exam. You have sixty (60) minutes to complete it.
1. Use a #2 pencil; do not use a mechanical pencil or a pen. Fill in completely (until there is no white space visible) the circle for each intended input – both on the identification side of your answer sheet and on the side on which you mark your answers. If you decide to change an answer, erase vigorously; the scanner sometimes registers incompletely erased marks as intended answers; this can adversely affect your grade. Light marks or marks extending outside the circle may be read improperly by the scanner.
2. Print your last name in the YOUR LAST NAME boxes on your answer sheet and print the first letter of your first name in the FIRST NAME INI box. Mark (as described above) the corresponding circle below each of these letters.
3. Print your NetID in the NETWORK ID boxes, and then mark the corresponding circle below each of the letters or numerals. Note that there are different circles for the letter “I” and the numeral “1” and for the letter “O” and the numeral “0”. Do not mark the hyphen circle at the bottom of any of these columns.
4. Print your UIN# in the STUDENT NUMBER designated spaces and mark the corresponding circles. You need not write in or mark the circles in the SECTION box..
5. This Exam Booklet is Version A. Mark the A circle in the TEST FORM box at the bottom of the front side of your answer sheet.
6. On the SECTION line, print your DISCUSSION SECTION. (You need not fill in the COURSE or INSTRUCTOR lines.)
7. Stop now and double-check that you have bubbled-in all the information requested in 2 through 6 above and that your marks meet the criteria in 1 above. Check that you do not have more than one circle marked in any of the columns.
8. Sign (DO NOT PRINT) your name on the STUDENT SIGNATURE line.
Before starting work, check to make sure that your test booklet is complete. You should have XX numbered pages including X Formula Sheet (s).
