SAMPLE TEST
INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATES Do NOT write on the question paper. A separate answer sheet is provided. A blank sheet of paper is also provided for any working that you may need to do. At the end of the test, these sheets will be collected in, together with the answer sheet and the question paper. Select what you consider to be the correct answer for each question by putting a ring round the appropriate letter on the answer sheet. e.g. A B C D
If you wish to change your answer, cross out your first choice and ring your new choice. e.g. A B C D
There are TWENTY (20) multi-choice questions on this paper. Answer ALL questions. All questions carry equal marks. No marks will be deducted for incorrect answers. Only calculators with NON-QWERTY keyboard are allowed. NO ADDITIONAL MATERIAL MAY BE TAKEN INTO THE EXAMINATION ROOM
