observe the following guidelines to insure being allowed to test:
1. Bring at least TWO (2) number two pencils (with erasers) and at least ONE
(1) BLACK ball point ink pen (no felt tip, gel, etc.) to the testing site. Make
sure the pencils are sharpened as there will be no sharpener available and no
