Basic Mathematical Skills


Test 1

Monday 19 September 2016


90 minutes

It is NOT allowed to use a formula chart or (graphical-)calculator during this BMS exam.
Only the use of the provided scratch paper is allowed.

The exam has 20 questions, 14 points or more are needed to “pass the exam”.
For multiple choice questions, the score can be 1 (good) or 0 (wrong).
For open questions the score can also be 12 point, in case of a little error in the computations.

For the multiple choice questions, clearly indicate the correct answer.
For the open questions, use the empty space to write down your computations. An answer without
any computation will not be rewarded (0 points), so copy the computations
√ from your scratch
paper. The numbers in your answers should be exact, such as, e.g., 5, 2 3, 5 ln(7) or 12 π.
