Instructions: Answer as many questions as possible. The questions become progressively more difficult. Cancel down any fractions in your answers. Do not put spaces in any of your answers. Where answers are not rational, round your response to either 2 or 3 decimal places.

NOTE: Entering Fractions and Powers In this test there are some questions where the answers contain fractions or powers. These questions will have a special input box like the one below, which will allow you to enter the answers. If you have not used the special input boxes before, you can find an explanation about how to use them here. You need to upgrade your Flash Player Go to http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer.
