Please use a No. 2 pencil, and make sure the
circles are completely darkened.

2)

Please do not leave any questions blank. If the section does not apply to you,
please fill in the “never” section.

3)

Please do not separate, staple or rip the booklet.

4)

Please do not leave any stray marks. Make sure all erasures are complete.
