DIRECTIONS TO THE EXAMINEEPART I
DO NOT TURN THE PAGE UNTIL DIRECTED TO DO SO. Answers to questions in Part I must be entered on a Scantron
answer sheet to be scored. Be sure to write your name on the answer sheet; an ID number is already entered for you. Make a record
of this ID number because you will use the same number on both Parts II and III. Each item in Part I consists of a question or an
incomplete statement that is followed by four possible choices. Select the single choice that best answers the question or completes the
statement. Then use a pencil to blacken the space on your answer sheet next to the same letter as your choice. You may write on the
examination, but the test booklet will not be used for grading. Scores are based on the number of correct responses. When you
complete Part I (or at the end of one hour and 30 minutes), you must turn in all testing materials, scratch paper, and your Scantron
answer sheet. Do not forget to turn in your U.S. citizenship statement before leaving the testing site today.

DIRECTIONS
When you have selected your answer to each question, blacken the corresponding space on the answer sheet using a soft, #2
pencil. Make a heavy, full mark, but no stray marks. If you decide to change an answer, erase the unwanted mark very carefully.
You may write on the test booklet, but it will not be used for grading.
There is only one correct answer to each question. Any questions for which more than one response has been blackened will not
be counted.
Your score is based solely on the number of questions you answer correctly. It is to your advantage to answer every question.
