You will be asked 20 questions. On your sheet there is an answer box for each question. You should work out your answers in your head. Do not try to write down your calculations because this will take up too much time. For some of the questions, important information is already written down for you on the sheet. Each question will be read aloud twice. You will then have time to work out your answer. If you don’t know the answer to the question, leave it and wait for the next question. If you want to change your answer, put a cross through your first answer and write your new answer nearby. For the first group of questions you will have 5 seconds to work out each answer. For the second group of questions you will have 10 seconds to work out each answer. For the third group of questions you will have 15 seconds to work out each answer. Each question is worth one mark. Do you have any questions about the test? (Answer any questions the learners may have.) Write your name on the front of the answer sheet. (Begin the test.) Now we are ready to start the test.
