IMPORTANT
1. Write your name, surname on top of each page. 2 . The exam consists of 18 questions some of which have more than one part.
3. Read the questions carefully and write your answers neatly within boxes provided or mark the correct choices in multiple choice
questions. 4. Some questions have penalties for wrong answers, as announced explicitly in places. 5. Your scratch work will not be
taken into account, will not be evaluated. 6. Calculators, mobile phones and similar devices are not allowed.
