1.7.          Do not copy the question. Leave a blank space after the answer to each question.

1.8.          Remember that handwriting and spelling will be taken into account.  Candidates are required to write their answers in black or blue-black ink. Red ink must not be used.  Ball-point pens may be used.  Candidates are warned that the use of pale blue ballpoint pens contributes to illegibility and that if their work cannot be read, they automatically penalize themselves.

Bring mathematical and drawing instruments for subjects for which they will be needed.

1.9.          Candidates are warned that the use of Electronic Calculators in the Examination Room is limited strictly to non-programmable calculators. Pocket computers and any other supplementary material must in no circumstances be taken into the Examination Room.

NOTENo additional time will be allowed for the failure of a Calculator in the Examination Room.

1.10.        Read each question very carefully.

1.11.      Do not spend too much time answering one or two questions so as to leave yourself no time to answer others which you are able to answer. Much time may be wasted in writing down information that is not asked for, and no marks are given for it.

1.12.        As soon as notice is given to stop writing, check that you have written your Name, Examination Number and Centre Number on the Answer Booklet/Answer Sheet before handing in to the invigilator.

1.13.        A candidate who arrives after the examination has started will be required to give a satisfactory reason to the Supervisor before being allowed into the examination room. Except in exceptional circumstances, a question paper will not be given to any candidate who is more than half an hour late.  Absolute punctuality is essential for certain papers (e.g. Listening Comprehension). Candidates are not allowed to leave the Examination Room half an hour before the end of the period allotted to the paper except by special permission of the Supervisor.

1.14       Candidates with Special Educational Needs (SEN) are eligible for 25 per cent extra writing time.
