GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. Read carefully the instructions on the Answer Sheet. After the announcement of the start of the
examination, you should first put down your name, class and class number in the spaces provided. No
extra time will be given for writing the information after the ‘Time is up’ announcement.

2. When told to open this book, you should check that all the questions are there. Look for the words 'END
OF PAPER' after the last question.

3. All questions carry equal marks.

4. ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS. You are advised to use an HB pencil to mark all the answers on the Answer
Sheet, so that wrong marks can be completely erased with a clean rubber. You must mark all the answers
clearly; otherwise you will lose marks if the answers cannot be captured.

5. You should mark only ONE answer for each question. If you mark more than one answer, you will receive
NO MARKS for that question.

6. No marks will be deducted for wrong answers.

7. The diagrams in the paper are not necessarily drawn to scale.

Not to be taken away before the

end of the examination session
