Section 5: Mathematics

Instructions:

1. This is a mathematic section with 18 questions.

 There are two types of questions in this section:
 Multiple choice: 1-8
Student produced response: 9-18
2. There is no negative marking for the Student Produced response, so it is advisable not to omit these questions.
3. The test is timed to 25 minutes to reflect the real test.
Notes:

1. The use of a calculator is permitted.

2. All numbers used are real numbers.
3. Figures that accompany problems in this test are intended to provide information useful in solving problems. They are
drawn as accurately as possible EXCEPT when it is stated in a specific problem that the figure is not drawn to scale. All
figures lie in a plane unless otherwise indicated.
4. Unless otherwise specified, the domain of any function f is assumed to be the set of all real numbers x for which f(x) is
a real number.
