INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATES

1 DO NOT OPEN THIS BOOKLET UNTIL YOU ARE TOLD TO DO SO

2 USE A SOFT HB PENCIL AND AN ERASER THROUGHOUT THIS EXAMINATION
Before the examination begins:
3 - PHYSICS-Paper 1.
4 Insert the information required in the spaces provided above.
5 Without opening the booklet, pull out the answer sheet carefully from inside the front cover of the
booklet. Take care that you do not erase or fold the answer sheet or make any marks on it other than those
asked for in these instructions.
6 Fill in the information required in the spaces provided on the answer sheet using your soft 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 questions there are four suggested answers, A, B, C and D. Decide which 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 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 a zero for that
question. If you change your mind about an answer, erase the first mark carefully then mark the new answer
11 Avoid spending too much time on any question. If you find any question difficult, move to the next question.
You can come back to this question later.
12 Do all rough work on this booklet, using, where necessary the blank spaces on the question booklet.
