• You must answer ALL the questions.
• Answers to each question should be in the space DIRECTLY BELOW the questions and (if
required) on the blank page overleaf of each question.
• Script book may be used if ADDITIONAL SPACE is required for answering these questions
General exam technique
Some candidates throw marks away by not attempting all questions. Suppose you get 7/10 on
a question for a 20 minutes effort. Spending another half hour on the question gets at most
3 more marks. On the otherhand, if you spend that time on a new question, you might get
another 10 marks, or more.
Answer the question that is asked. If the question asks for Insertion sort, do not give Quick-
sort. Where necessary, especially where it says “No explanation, no marks”, justify your
answer with a clear explanation.
Some of the questions ask you to write Pseudocode. A Pseudocode is essentially a high-level
description of your program, that should allow a human to understand it. If you feel more
comfortable using Python/Java syntax, you are welcome to use it but don’t get bogged down
in syntax. What will essentially be assessed in such questions is your basic understanding of
the algorithm (and not the syntactical correctness).
Write neatly. Use a new pen not an old, splodgy one.
Good Luck!
