General Mathematics First Summative Examination
General Mathematics First Summative Examination
General Direction:
1 You are allowed to use CALCULATORS but not in CELLPHONES. (Strictly no borrowing of Calculators).
2 You are allowed to use graphing papers. (Provided that there is no writing/s on it before the
examination starts.)
3 Items with erasures will automatically mark as wrong.
4 Always show your solution/s if there is/are any. Items (which need solutions especially
solving) answered without solutions are automatically mark as wrong.
5 Should there be questions, ask the proctor.
6 Always follow directions.
I. Multiple Choice: Encircle the letter of the correct answer. Show all solution/s if there is/are any.
