INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read carefully the instructions on the Answer Sheet. After the announcement of the start of
the examination, you should first write the information required in the spaces provided.
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.
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 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.
