READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.

1.

This test consists of 45 items. You will have I hour and 30 minutes to answer them.

2.

In addition to this test booklet, you should have an answer sheet'and a Data Booklet.

3.

Each item in this test has four suggested answers lettered (A), (B), (C), (D). Read each item
you are about to answer and decide which choi<;e is best.

4.

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 cl10sen. Look at the sample item below.

Which of the followi11g transitions requires the HIGHEST energy in an organic compound?

n to er

(B)

n to 7t

(C)

7t to 7t
cr to cr

(D)

Sample Answer

..

The best answer to this item is "cr to cr", so answer space (D) has been shaded.
