  3. Choose one answer (A–E) for each question and shade the matching lozenge in pencil.
  4. Work quickly and carefully — about 30 seconds per question. If a question is hard, move on and come back.
  5. Rub out any answer you want to change. Do not leave two marks for one question.
Example — to choose answer C, shade it like this: ABCDE
