INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATES

Read the following instructions carefully before you start answering the questions in this paper. Make sure
you have a soft HB pencil and an eraser for this examination.
1. USE A SOFT HB PENCIL THROUGHOUT EXAMINATION
2. DO NOT OPEN THIS QUESTION PAPER UNTIL YOU ARE TOLD TO DO SO.
Before the examination begins:
3. Check that this question booklet is headed “Advanced Level 0770 Maths With Statistics 1’
4. Fill in the information required in the spaces above
5. Fill in the information required in the spaces provided on the answer sheet using your HB pencil:
Candidate Name, Exam Session, Subject Code and Candidate Identification Number.
Take care that you do not crease or fold the answer sheet or make any mark on it other than those asked for in
these instructions.

How to answer questions in the examination:

6. Answer ALL questions.
7. Mathematical tables (Formulae booklets) and calculators are not allowed.
8. Each question has FOUR suggested answers: A, B ,C and D . Decide on which answer is correct. Find the number
of the question on the answer sheet and draw horizontal line across the letter to join the square bracket to the
answer you have chosen.
For example, if C is your correct answer, mark C as shown here.
[ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [D ]
9. Mark only one answer for each question. If you mark more tan one answer you will score a zero for that question. If
you change your mind about an answer, erase the first mark carefully then mark your new answer.
10. Avoid spending too much time on any one question. if you find a question difficult, move on to the next question.
You can come back to this question later.
11. Do all rough work in this booklet, using, where necessary, the blank spaces in the question booklet.
12. At the end of the examination, the invigilator shall collect the answer sheet first then the question
booklet. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LEAVE THE EXAMINATION HALL WITH IT.
