INSTRUCTIONS
(1) Read carefully the instructions on the MC
Answer Sheet. After the announcement of the
start of the examination, you should first insert
the information required in the spaces provided.
No extra time will be given for writing the Name,
Class and Class Number after the ‘Time is up’
announcement.
(2) When told to open this book, you should check
that all the questions are there. Look the words
‘END OF PAPER’ or equivalent 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 MC 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.
(6) No marks will be deducted for wrong answers.
