5. You may use a calculator to answer questions, but you should note that the use of an
inappropriate number of figures in answers will be penalized.
6. If you need to rewrite any answer and there is not enough space to do so on the
original page, you must use the extra lined page provided at the back (page 10).
Remember to draw a single line through your original answer.
7. If you use the extra page, you MUST write the question number clearly left to the
answer, where the relevant part is included.
