When you are told to begin you will have 30 minutes to do as many questions as you can. If you don’t know 
the answer to a question, make a guess or come back to it later. You don’t lose marks if you get something 
wrong. It may be difficult to finish all the questions in the time allowed, so don’t spend too long on any one 
question. Try to answer as many questions as you can. If you change your mind about an answer, please 
erase your original answer using an eraser and colour your new answer in on the answer sheet.
