Each test contains forty items. You have a limited time (30 min) to work out the answers, so work as quickly as possible. Don't linger too long over any item; you may be on the wrong track altogether, and might do better with the next one. On the other hand don't give up too easily; most of the problems can be worked out with a bit of patience. Just use your common sense in judging when to leave an item unsolved. And remember that on the whole items tend to get more difficult later in the test. Everybody should be able to do some items correctly, but nobody should be able to do all the items correctly in the time allowed.
Your answer in each case will consist of a single number, letter, or word. You may have to choose from various alternatives given to you, or you may have to think up the right answer. Indicate your answer clearly in the appropriate space. If you can't figure out answer, don't guess; but if you have an idea but aren't quite sure if it is in fact the correct one, put it in. There are no "trick" questions, but you should always consider a variety of ways of approaching the problem. Be sure you understand what is required of you before you start on a problem; you waste time if you go straight ahead without bothering to find out just what the problem is.
NOTE : Dots indicate the number of letters in a missing word; thus (****) shows that the missing word you are required to find has four letters.
