practice test 1

Biol-1103-AM Armstron g Test 1 Spring, 2006 Place all books and papers away. Fill in your SOCIAL SECURITY number in the first 9 spaces provided at the beginning of the Scantron sheet, and bubble in the circles. Also print your name clearly, LAST name first, and indicate the date/time of the test, your section, and the test version found in the footer on the reverse side of this sheet. There are 22 questions total. You may write on your test as a record of what you answered on your scantron, but do NOT use large letters, talk, or allow other students to view your answers. Fill in the answers with #2 pencil on your scantron form. When you are finished, turn your exam over and wait for them to be collected.
