GRADUATE RECORD EXAMINATIONS SUBJECT TEST

B. The Subject Tests are intended to measure your achievement in a specialized field of study. Most of the questions are
concerned with subject matter that is probably familiar to you, but some of the questions may refer to areas that you
have not studied.
Your score will be determined by the number of questions you answer correctly. Questions you answer incorrectly or
for which you mark no answer or more than one answer are counted as incorrect. Nothing is subtracted from a score
if you answer a question incorrectly. Therefore, to maximize your score, it is better for you to guess at an answer than
not to respond at all.
You are advised to use your time effectively and to work as rapidly as you can without losing accuracy. Do not spend
too much time on questions that are too difficult for you. Go on to the other questions and come back to the difficult
ones later if you can.
YOU MUST INDICATE ALL YOUR ANSWERS ON THE SEPARATE ANSWER SHEET. No credit will be given
for anything written in this examination book, but you may write in the book as much as you wish to work out your
answers. After you have decided on your response to a question, fill in the corresponding oval on the answer sheet.
BE SURE THAT EACH MARK IS DARK AND COMPLETELY FILLS THE OVAL. Mark only one answer to each
question. No credit will be given for multiple answers. Erase all stray marks. If you change an answer, be sure that all
previous marks are erased completely. Incomplete erasures may be read as intended answers. Do not be concerned that
the answer sheet provides spaces for more answers than there are questions in the test.
