INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATES:
Mobile phones are NOT ALLOWED in the examination room.
1. USE A SOFT HB PENCIL THROUGHOUT THIS EXAMINATION.
2. DO NOT OPEN THIS BOOKLET UNTIL YOU ARE TOLD TO DO SO.
Before the Examination begins:
3. Check that this question booklet is headed ―Ordinary level –0575 code and subject title—Additional Mathematics-Paper 1‖.
4. Insert the information required in the spaces above.
5. Without opening the booklet, pull out the answer sheet carefully from inside the front cover of this booklet. Take care that you
do not crease or fold the answer sheet or make any marks on it other than those asked for in these instructions.
6. Insert the information required in the spaces provided on the answer sheet using your HB pencil:
Candidate Name, Centre Number, Candidate Number, Subject Code Number, and Paper number
How to answer questions in this examination:
7. Answer ALL the 50 questions in this examination. All questions carry equal marks.
8. Non-programmable calculators are allowed.
9. For each question there are four suggested answers, A, B, C and D. Decide which answer is correct. Find the number of the
question on the Answer Sheet and draw a horizontal line across the letter to join the square brackets for the answer you have
chosen. For example, if C is your correct answer, mark C as shown below:[A] [B] [C] [D]
10. .Mark only one answer for each question. If you mark more than one answer, you will score zero for that question. If you
change your mind about an answer, erase the first mark carefully, and then mark your new answer.
11. Avoid spending much time on any question. If you find a question difficult, move to the next question. You can come back to
this question later.
12. Do all rough work in this booklet using, where necessary, the blank spaces in the question booklet.
13. You must not take this booklet and answer sheet out of the examination room. All question booklets and answer sheets
will be collected at the end of the examination.
