J group VLE exam Summative

Spaces for you to type an answer (which will be a number) are represented by ⊡. Please
type over this with the number for your answer.

With a multiple choice question, similarly, type over the ⊡ with your indication of what
answer I, ii, vi etc is the correct one.

I.e if you decide that the correct answer is iii.

Where it says “Correct answer is ⊡”

You replace the box, so it now reads

“Correct answer is iii ”
