In high school, there are two levels for the [[multiple choice]] exam. There is a tenth grade level (10A and 10B) and a twelfth grade level (12A and 12B). There are two exam dates in February of each year, and "A" reflects the first exam date while "B" reflects the second exam date. The exams are different on the two dates, but at the same levels. A 10th grader can arrange to take both the 10th and 12th grade exams.

The exam consists of 25 questions to be completed in 75 minutes. 6 points are awarded for each correct answer, 2 points for each blank answer, and 0 points for each incorrect answer. In other words, it does hurt to guess wrong.
