Remember to keep these materials beside you for the exam
• One calculator
• One 15 cm ruler
• Two pens
• Two pencils
• One eraser
• One sharpener
• Compass, if needed

Points to remember:
• Marks are awarded for the clarity of your answers. Show formulae and working for calculations
and qualitative explanations must be clearly explained and related to appropriate Physics ideas.
• A numerical answer is meaningless without its unit.
• You are expected to quote your final answers to the appropriate number of significant figures.
• Write in blue/ black ink using ball-point pens, NOT gel pens.
• Use pencil for drawing diagrams.
