    Instructions for preparing apparatus

    1 In addition to the usual equipment of a Physics laboratory, candidates will require the
    apparatus specified on pages 3 and 4.

    Enough apparatus must be provided to ensure that


    (a) no candidate is kept waiting at the end of the allocated time for each question,
    (b) spare apparatus is immediately available in the event of failure or breakage of any item.

    2 If a candidate is unable to proceed with any of the experiments, the Supervisor is expected to
    give sufficient help to enable the candidate to do the experiment. If the Supervisor sees that a
    candidate is proceeding incorrectly, he should give the minimum help to enable the candidate
    to do the experiment correctly. In giving help, the following regulations should be followed:
    (a) No help may be announced to the candidates as a whole.
    (b) Candidates should be told that the Examiners will be informed of any help given.
    (c) A report must be made of any assistance given to any candidate, identified by name and
    index number.

    Supervisors may find it useful to make the following announcement to the candidates at the
    start of the examinations. ‘The examiners do not want you to waste time when you are
    unable to do the experiment. Any candidate who is unable to get on with an experiment
    may come and ask for help. I will report to the Examiners any help given and some
    marks may be deducted.’

    3 Supervisors are asked to provide the information required by the examiner (if any) at the end of
    each list of items to be supplied. Page 6 should be used to provide information about any help
    given to candidates. Pages 5 and 6 should be detached and attached to the ‘Supervisor’s
    Results’ before despatch to the Examiner.

    4 Candidates should be instructed at the start of the examination that all of their work should be
    written on the spaces provided on the question paper.

    5 The Supervisor must perform the experiments and submit with the candidates’ answers,
    a sample set of results in the same form as that expected of the candidates.
