A FEW IMPORTANT REMINDERS!

The test will be worth 120 points and will 
constitute roughly 35% of the total number of test points
for the course.

You will have 2 hours to work on the test.

All of your work must be placed in the "Blue Book(s)"
that will be provided for you.

The answers in the Blue Book(s) must appear in the same order
as they appear on the test sheet, and so you will need to
plan ahead and leave necessary space if you intend to
work the problems out of order.
