1 Multiple Choice Test for AAMET Level 2 Assessment In this test, some answers are wholly false, some are partially true and some are completely true. The completely true answer is the correct answer. There is only one answer to each question: it is a single letter from A to E. For example, if you consider that answers A, and D contain correct answers and answer E says Both A and D, then your answer should be E. You may feel that some of the answers to the multiple choice questions may true about life in general but are not taught as a part of this course. If so they are incorrect. Page 1 of 11
