INSTRUCTIONS:
You will be given the exam paper and a computer–marked sheet on which you will answer all your
questions.
You must use a soft–lead pencil (HB or softer). The scanner will not read ink no matter how black a mark it
makes.
Do not bend or fold the computer sheet in any way or it will become jammed in the scanner.

(Be especially careful to code in your student number properly.)
Do not mark the computer answer sheet in any way except to encode the answers. Stray marks can be read
by the machine as incorrect answers!
Make sure you’ve coded in all the answers. No marks are deducted for wrong answers so DO NOT LEAVE
BLANKS! There is exactly one answer for each multiple-choice question.
All Multiple Choice questions are worth 1 mark.
