This question /Answer Booklet

Formula Sheet (retained from Section One)

To be provided by the candidate

Standard Items: pens (blue/black preferred), pencils (including coloured), sharpener,

correction fluid/tape, eraser, ruler, highlighters.

Special items: drawing instruments, templates, notes on two unfolded sheets of A4 paper,

and up to three calculators approved for use in the WACE examinations.

Important note to candidates

No other items may be taken into the examination room. It is your responsibility to ensure

that you do not have any unauthorized notes or other items of a non-personal nature in the

examination room. If you have any unauthorized material with you, hand it to the supervisor

before reading any further.

Instructions to candidates

The rules for the conduct of examinations are detailed in the School Examination Rules provided with your exam timetable. Sitting this examination implies that you agree to abide by these rules.

Write your answers in this Question/Answer Booklet.

You must be careful to confine your responses to the specific questions asked and to follow any instructions that are specific to a particular question.

Spare pages are included at the end of this booklet. They can be used for planning your responses and/or as additional space if required to continue an answer.

Planning: If you use the spare pages for planning, indicate this clearly at the top of the page.

Continuing an answer: If you need to use the space to continue an answer, indicate in the original answer space where the answer is continued, i.e. give the page number. Fill in the number of the question(s) that you are continuing to answer at the top of the page.

Show all your working clearly. Your working should be in sufficient detail to allow your answers to be checked readily and for marks to be awarded for reasoning. Incorrect answers given without supporting reasoning cannot be allocated any marks. For any question or part question worth more than two marks, valid working or justification is required to receive full marks. If you repeat an answer to any question, ensure that you cancel the answer you do not wish to have marked.

It is recommended that you do not use pencil, except in diagrams.

The formula sheet and your notes are not to be handed in with your Question/Answer Booklet.
