General Instructions:
1. Make sure to have written your name, student number, and CN on every answer sheet (follow the format of the first sheet),
as well as consecutive sheet numbers (at the upper right corner).
2. Turn all mobile phones and electronic devices OFF during the entire examination period, except the calculator being used.
Any form of cheating will be penalized as stipulated Student Manual Code of Conduct.
3. Submit the questionnaire together with your answer sheets. Do NOT unstaple the questionnaire. Keep all answer sheets
stapled together during the entire examination period; otherwise your paper will NOT be graded. Bring your OWN stapler.
4. Use only a blue or black ink pen. Do NOT use correction fluid, friction pen or pencils. Non-compliance will result to
ineligibility for rechecking.
5. Divide your answer/solution sheet into parts (e.g. columns, quadrant), start the solution to each problem on a new part; and
always put a box on your final answer/s. Any answer/s that is not labeled will not be graded.
6. Show clearly all pertinent numerical solutions, ancillary diagram and state the assumptions made, if any. Incomplete,
incomprehensible and inappropriate solutions will be given no credit.
