You should have the

following for this examination
• a multiple-choice answer sheet
• a pen with black or blue ink
• a ruler
• the use of a calculator is

This question paper is the property of the City and Guilds of London

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 ‘a’ is correct, mark your answer like this

If you want to change your answer, cancel your first choice by filling in the ‘cancel’
box below the circle like this

Then mark the answer which you have now decided is correct. For example if you
now decide ‘c’ is correct, mark your answer like this

Any other marks on the form may invalidate some of your answers.

• Any calculations or rough working can be done on the question paper.

• Attempt all questions. If you find a question difficult, leave it and return to it later.

This paper contains 60 questions. Answer them using the ‘boxes’ numbered
1 to 60 on the answer sheet.
