Paper format. National Examination, December 2016 — 98-Civ-A6, Transportation Planning & Engineering. Three hours, closed book (one two-sided aid sheet, approved calculator). Seven questions of equal value (20 marks each); any five constitute a complete examination. All seven are solved here, because the set is a study resource rather than a sat examination.
