Final Exam – Paper One Time: 1hr 30mins

READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.

1. This paper consists of sixty (60) Multiple Choice questions. You will have 1 hour and 30
minutes to answer them.
2. In addition to this booklet, you should have an answer sheet.
3. A list of formulae is provided on page 2.
4. Each item in this test has four suggested answers lettered (A), (B), (C), (D). Read each
item you are about to answer and decide which is the best choice.
5. On your answer sheet, find the number which corresponds to your item and shade the
space having the same letter as the answer you have chosen. Look at the sample item
below.

The best answer to this item is “8𝑎”, so (A) has been shaded.

6. If you want to change your answer, erase it completely before you fill in your new
choice.
7. When you are told to begin, turn the page and work as quickly and as carefully as you
can. If you cannot answer an item, go on to the next one. You may return to that item
later.
8. You may do any rough work on this paper.
9. Calculators and mathematical tables are NOT allowed for this paper.

DO NOT TURN THIS PAGE UNTIL YOU ARE TOLD TO DO SO.
