INSTRUCTIONS

1. Read carefully the instructions on the Answer Sheet. After the announcement of the start of
the examination, write your Full Name, Class and Class no. in the space 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.
3. All questions carry equal marks.
4. ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS. You MUST 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.
6. No marks will be deducted for wrong answers.
7. Hand in the MC answer sheet only and you may keep the question paper.
There are 30 questions in Section A and 15 questions in Section B.
The diagrams in this paper are not necessarily drawn to scale.
