This test paper is printed on both sides of the page. There are 15 questions on 4 pages. You
are responsible for ensuring that your copy of this test is complete. Bring any discrepancies to
the attention of the invigilator.
Instructions
(1) No calculators are allowed.
(2) All answers must be entered on the computer card with an HB pencil. Read the marking
instructions on the card.
(3) Write your name and ID number on the computer card.
(4) Each question is worth one mark. No marks will be deducted for wrong answers or
blank answers.
(5) Any question left blank will receive 0 marks, even if the correct answer is circled on the
exam page. You must enter your answers on the computer card.
(6) Scratch paper is available for rough work; ask the invigilator.
This PRACTICE version of the midterm is intended to give you an idea of the format,
approximate length and approximate diculty of the actual midterm. There is no guarantee
as to the actual length and diculty of the actual exam. In particular, the actual midterm will
NOT be just the same with the numbers changed.
