No calculators, cell phones, or other electronic devices may be used, and they must all be put away out of sight.. TURN OFF cell phones and put them away. If a cell phone is seen during the exam, your exam will be collected and you will receive a zero. 3. In Part 1 (Problems 1 0), mark the correct choice on your ScanTron using a No. pencil. The scantrons will not be returned, therefore for your own records, also record your choices on your exam! 4. In Part (Problems 1 4), present your solutions in the space provided. Show all your work neatly and concisely and clearly indicate your final answer. You will be graded not merely on the final answer, but also on the quality and correctness of the work leading up to it. 5. Be sure to write your name, section number, and version letter of the exam on the ScanTron form.
