READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST

INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATES

1. Find a nice comfortable spot without distraction.

2. Be fully focused for the whole duration of the test.

3. Speed is KING. Finish the paper as soon as possible then return-back to Check Your Answers.

4. As you are checking your answers, always find ways to VALIDATE your answer.

5. Avoid looking through line by line as usually you will not be able to see your Blind Spot.

6. If there is no alternative method, cover your answer and REDO the question.

7. Give non-exact answers to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place for angles in degree, or 2
decimal place for $$$, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.

Wish you guys all the best in this test.

You can do it.

I believe in you.
