Exam Day Instructions

• Read the questions carefully and with full concentration since there might be time constraint if one wastes too much time on one question.
• All three sections need to be attempted with equal zeal hence time distribution is very important to allot equal time to all three sections.
• Any questions which remain unattempted will be null and void so the score will improve with more questions attempted.
• Since the last section of Part A (MSQ) also carries negative marking, it will be advisable to invest more time on this section and try to make fewer mistakes on this section.
