FINAL EXAMINATION

PSB (Singapore) CAMPUS

1. Exam duration: 2 hours.

2. Reading time: 10 minutes.
3. This examination has 18 pages (inclusive of this cover page).
4. This examination has 16 multiple choice questions of equal value.
5. Material supplied by examinations:

• Examination paper.
• GPAS 200R Computer Answer Sheet.

6. Materials students are allowed to bring into the examination room:

• Normal writing implements.

• A hand-held non-programmable calculator without alpha-numeric display.
• A single two sided A4 sheet of hand-written (not photocopied) notes.

7. Special instructions:
