    Important instructions

    1. Start each question on a new sheet of paper.


    2. Number your sheets of paper to help you scan them in order.
    3. Only write on one side of each piece of paper.
    4. If you have rough work to do, simply include it within your overall answer – put
    brackets at the start and end of it if you want to highlight that it is rough work.
