Level 2 Certificate in Plumbing Studies


Key plumbing principles (Version A)

Date/time centre set You should have the


30 minutes following for this examination
• a multiple-choice answer sheet
• a pen with black or blue ink

This question paper is the property of the City and Guilds of London
Institute and is to be returned after the examination.

Read the following notes before you answer any questions


• You must use a pen with black or blue ink to complete all parts of the answer sheet.
• Check that you have the correct answer sheet for the examination.
• Check that your name and candidate details are printed correctly at the top of your
answer sheet.
• Inform the invigilator if your name or examination details are not correct.
• Each question shows four possible answers (lettered ‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’ and ‘d’); only one
is correct.
Decide which one is correct and mark your answer on the answer sheet with
your pen.
For example if you decide ‘c’ is correct, mark your answer like this

1 a b c d

If you want to change your answer, cancel your first choice by filling in the lower half
of the box like this

1 a b c d

Then mark the answer which you have now decided is correct.
• Any calculations or rough working can be done on this paper.
• Attempt all questions. If you find a question difficult, leave it and return to it later.

This paper contains 20 questions. Answer them using the ‘boxes’ numbered
1 to 20 on the answer sheet.
