Multiple Choice Questions Each of the following multiple choice questions are worth 5 points. Your

answers need to be filled in on your ParSCORE form. Note: Your

ParSCORE will not be returned to you, therefore, for your records, you

may want to mark your answers on this sheet. On the ParSCORE you

need to fill in your perm number, test version, and name. Failure to do

any of these things will result in the loss of 1 point. Your perm number

is placed and bubbled in under the “ID number.” Do not skip boxes or put

in a hyphen. In addition, leave bubbles blank under any unused boxes.

The version number (A) is bubbled in under the “test form.”
