KEY TO CORRECT ANSWERS The numerals printed in italics below are the correct answers to the 105 questions in the current affairs test.
Check them against your answers and mark your errors and omissions with an X. Subtract the number of X's from 105 to arrive at your score. For example, if you missed 45 questions, your score would be 105 minus 45, or 60. This is above the college BUSINESS average. Do not look at these answers until you have finished your answer sheet.
