How to answer the questions in this examination

6 Answer ALL the 50 questions in this Examination. All Questions carry equal marks
7 Non-programmable calculators may be used
8 Each question has FOUR suggested answers A, B, C, D. Decide on which answer is correct, find the number of the
question on the Answer Sheet and draw a horizontal line across the corresponding letter to join the square brackets for
the answer you have chosen. For example, if your correct answer is C, mark C as shown below:
