SECTION II
Total Time—1 hour
Reading Period—10 minutes
Writing Period—50 minutes
3 Questions
Directions: You are advised to spend the first 10 minutes reading all of the questions and planning your answers.
You will then have 50 minutes to answer all three of the following questions. You may begin writing your responses
before the reading period is over. It is suggested that you spend approximately half your time on the first question
and divide the remaining time equally between the next two questions. Include correctly labeled diagrams, if useful
or required, in explaining your answers. A correctly labeled diagram must have all axes and curves clearly labeled
and must show directional changes. If the question prompts you to “Calculate,” you must show how you arrived at
your final answer. Use a pen with black or dark blue ink.
You may plan your answers in this orange booklet, but no credit will be given for anything written in this booklet.
You will only earn credit for what you write in the separate Free Response booklet.
