INSTRUCTIONS
1. Check that this exam consists of this cover and pages 1 to 4 of questions.
2. This is a closed book exam. Notes, calculators or any other devices are not permitted. Dictionaries
and translation dictionaries are allowed.
3. Information on the computer card is to be entered with a soft lead pencil. Any erasing must be
done cleanly. The computer will also accept black or blue ball point pens, but this is not advised
as you will not be able to erase these to make corrections.
4. This exam paper is Version 1. Make sure that the Version column of your computer card has
this same number lled in.
5. Enter the requested ID information on the computer card. Sign the computer card in the space
indicated.
6. This exam paper, exam booklet(s) and the computer card may not be removed from the exam
room.
7. This exam paper has a total of 90 points and consists of two parts: Part 1 is worth 40 points and
consists of 20 multiple choice questions worth 2 points each. There is no penalty for an incorrect
answer. Only the answers entered on the computer card will count for Part 1. Part 2 is worth 50
points and consists of 5 written questions worth 10 points each. Good style and clear exposition
are important in answering these questions.
8. The Examination Security Monitor Program detects pairs of students with unusually similar answer
patterns on multiple-choice exams. Data generated by this program can be used as admissible
evidence, either to initiate or corroborate an investigation or a charge of cheating under Section
16 of the Code of Student Conduct and Disciplinary Procedures.
