INSTRUCTIONS TO TEACHERS

Teachers are advised to ensure that the candidates read these instructions and guidelines carefully and adhere to them. The candidates should be made aware of the penalties for examination irregularities or misconduct.

INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATES

Avail yourself for searching outside the examination room and be seated at your desk/table 15 minutes before the time fixed for the examination in the various papers. The first session will start at 8:00 a.m. followed by the second session as indicated on the timetable.
A candidate who arrives late will be required to give a satisfactory reason to the Supervisor. Only in exceptional circumstances will a paper be given to any candidate who is more than half an hour late. Absolute punctuality is essential for all papers.
Check the question paper you have been given to confirm that it is the paper you registered for.
If an examination paper for which you are not registered is handed to you, or if the question indicate that a map or other material should also have been provided, inform the Supervisor at once.
Attend carefully to any general instructions that may be given on the first page of a paper, e.g. instructions limiting the number of questions that should be answered.
Check to ensure that each page of your question is printed.
Write your name, index number, sign and write the date of the examination on the answer booklet.
Write on both sides of the paper, but do not use the margins. Begin the answer to each separate part of a question on a fresh line.
Write the number of the question clearly in the left-margin at the beginning of each answer. Do not copy the question. Be careful to use the same system of numbering as appears in the question paper. Leave a blank line after the answer to each question.
Write your responses in black or blueink. You may use fountain pen or ball point pen. Pencils should only be used for diagrams. Bring mathematical and drawing instruments for subjects for which they will be needed.
Read each question carefully. A lot of time may be wasted in writing down information that is not asked for and no marks will be given for it.
Do not spend too much time on one or two questions. Leave yourself adequate time to answer other questions.
As soon as notice is given to stop, make sure your name, index number, signature and the date of the examination are written on the answer booklet and then hand it over to the supervisor/invigilator.
