INSTRUCTIONS

1. Read carefully the instructions on the Answer Sheet and write your Class, Name and Class Number in the
spaces provided on this cover.

2. When told to open this paper, you should check that all the questions are there. Look for the words ‘END OF
PAPER’ after the last question.

3. The paper carries 35% of the subject marks.

4. All questions carry equal marks.

5. 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.

6. You should mark only ONE answer for each question. If you mark more than one answer, you will receive
NO MARKS for that question.

7. No marks will be deducted for wrong answers.

8. No extra time will be given to candidates for writing the Class, Name and Class Number after the ‘Time is up’
announcement.
