Important notes:
• Questions have different weights, the value of each is shown. The maximum grade
in each section is 50.
• Place your answers in the space provided on the test sheet. If you need more space,
use the back of the pages.
• A good strategy is not to spend too much time on any question. Read them through
first and attack them in the order that allows you to make the most progress.
