GENERAL DIRECTIONS:

your focus is highly required. Cheating has always been unethical and hurtful. So, don’t
you dare. Trust me, there are cooler ways to be hurt.
 You shall only use a whole sheet of paper to write your ANSWERS ONLY.
 Should you have questions, directly approach the examiner. You will face the consequences
if otherwise.
 Write the letter of your choice. Be wary of the options, choose only the best. ONLY THE
BEST ONES. You will only get wronged and hurt if you choose the wrong ones. It is only
your conscious choice that will dictate your fate. MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!
