Human Anatomy & Physiology II with Dr. Hubley Exam #1 Name: Instructions This exam consists of 40 multiple-choice questions. Each multiple-choice question answered correctly is worth one point, and the essay is worth up to ten points. You may write on the exam itself, but be sure to answer all your multiple-choice questions on a Scantron sheet with a #2 pencil. For each multiple-choice question you must select the one best response to receive credit. If you select more than one response for a question, then you will receive no credit for that question. If you fill in a response on the answer sheet and wish to change your response, then be sure to completely erase the errant response. I recommend that you read all responses for a question before selecting your answer. Be sure to write your name on this exam booklet and on the answer sheet. Turn in both the exam booklet and answer sheet as you leave class.
