General Direction: Thoroughly read the questions and follow the instruction. Avoid cheating. Anyone caught
will be refrained from taking the examination. If you have any question or query about the examination, approach
the instructor. Use black pen only. Cellular phones are not allowed. Avoid erasures. Any form of such will be
considered wrong. Failure to follow the instruction/s will automatically get deductions in each test.
