Helpful HintsRead the question 3 times. Annotate! (Its your test, you can write notes, underline, circle)SHOW WORK on all problems---including multiple choice (you are less likely to make hasty guess).SHOW WORK that you did on calculator: if you are multiplying or dividing, write those numbers down followed by the answer you get from calculator, so scorer knows what you were thinking/doing. Make sure to answer EVERY bullet point listed above the box for work & answer. DO NOT ERASE YOUR WORK---instead, CROSS IT OUT so that scorer can still tell what you did (if what you crossed out was actually correct, and they can still see it, then you can get credit for it!!)LABEL ALL ANSWERS..LABEL ALL ANSWERSTITLE & LABELS FOR ALL GRAPHS..TITLE & LABELS FOR ALL GRAPHSDO NOT LEAVE ANY QUESTIONS BLANK----ANSWER EVERY QUESTION

Multiple Choice QuestionsThe responses "All of the above" and "None of the above" will not be used. The letters A, B, C, and D will be used for answer choices and will not be used as labels within a multiplechoice item. The test will not distract you by giving partially correct responses nor will it be designed to trick students into responding incorrectly.

General directions that allow the student to construct a response may read as follows: "Show your work using words, numbers and/or pictures." Show the steps you used to solve the problem.
