Signature on Attendance sheet & Admit card
Make sure you sign in the space provided in the Attendance Sheet next your name when asked to. Signing on the Attendance Sheet is mandatory and your candidature will be considered null & void without it.
Please ensure that you hand over the Admit Card to the Invigilator once the Attendance is taken and you and the Invigilator sign in the space provided on the Admit Card in each other`s presence.
Candidates are advised to mark the answer of the question immediately and avoid wasting time. There is no point wasting your time in reading all the questions first and then deciding on which ones to answer, as all questions are compulsory i.e. there are no options, and all questions carry equal marks.
It will be better to start answering questions in the test one by one. If you find a question difficult skip it and go to the next question.
Please ensure that you are marking the answer on the answer sheet against the same serial number as that of the question you are attempting.
Even though there are no negative marks allotted to incorrect answers, it is recommended that you should avoid marking answers at random or based on guesses.
