Please work ONE problem per sheet of paper. You must show your desk during the entire test! (This also helps Honorlock from pausing your test due to face visibility.) I am including a basic calculator in the Tools portion of Honorlock so you do not have to worry about basic calculations. This is the only calculator you are allowed to use on this test. Show ALL your work. Answers with no work will receive no credit. No formula sheets of any kind allowed. Failure to follow the Honor Code will result in a violation. When you have completed the test, you will submit a scanned .pdf document with ALL pages in one document, in order, within 15 minutes after you exit Honorlock in the Test 3 Module in the Test 3 Submission page.
