INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATES
Read the following instructions carefully before you start answering the questions in this paper. Make sure you have
a soft HB pencil and an eraser for this examination.
1. USE A SOFT HB PENCIL THROUGHOUT THE EXAMINATION.
2. DO NOT OPEN THIS BOOKLET UNTIL YOU ARE TOLD TO DO SO.
Before the examination begins:
3. Check that this question booklet is headed Advanced Level – 7360Maintenance of Mechanical,
Pneumatic and Hydraulic 1
4. Insert the information required in the spaces above.
5. Insert the information required in the spaces provided on the answer sheet using your HB pencil:
Candidate Name, Exam Session, Subject Code, Centre Number and Candidate Number. Take
care that you do not crease or fold the answer sheet or make any marks on it other than those asked for
in these instructions.
6. Answer ALL questions
7. Each question has FOUR suggested answers: A, B, C and D. Decide on which answer is correct. Find the
number of the question on the Answer Sheet and draw a horizontal line across the letter to join the square
brackets for the answer you have chosen.
For example, if C is your correct answer, mark C as shown below:

8. Mark only one answer for each question. If you mark more than one answer, you will score a zero for that
question. If you change your mind about an answer, erase the first mark carefully, then mark your new answer.
9. Avoid spending too much time on any one question. If you find a question difficult, move on to the next
question. You can come back to this question later.
10. Do all rough work in this booklet, using, where necessary, the blank spaces in the question booklet.
11. Texts, notes and pre-prepared materials of any kind are also NOT allowed in the examination room.
12. At the end of the examination, the invigilator shall collect the answer sheet first and then the question
booklet after. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LEAVE THE EXAMINATION HALL WITH IT.
