Instructions on how to complete the Multiple Choice Questions during an examination Note: There are variations to the instructions per module exam which are not included in these general instructions 1. Answers to all questions are to be recorded on the multiple-choice form, either in the format A-E or True/False. 2. Mark one box only to indicate the answer you consider correct for each question. 3. Mark your answers in pencil on the multiple-choice form provided. Do not use a biro anywhere on the form. 4. Do not bend, tear or use a green tag on the multiple-choice form. Rough calculations may be shown in an examination book. Candidates must ensure that their SEAT NUMBER AND STUDENT ID NUMBER are included on the multiple choice form, answer booklet if used and the examination paper, ALL of which must be presented to the supervisor at the completion of the examination. Before the Exam: Before filling in a multiple-choice sheet, you should read the following: The sheets are not corrected by hand. They are processed through a machine called an optical mark reader. All it recognises are marks, so there’s no point in writing comments; this could invalidate the answer sheet. As it is a machine that processes the forms, the marks you enter must be good — see a good mark below. If you enter a bad mark, then humans may realise the intended answer but the optical mark reader won’t. A good mark is a dark, horizontal stroke, filling most/all of the box. GOOD BAD BAD BAD BAD In light of this the following points are vital:  Always use a good sharpened pencil.  Never use a biro. A biro will produce marks that won’t be picked up, but they also can’t be erased!  Have a good clean eraser. Mistakes should be rubbed out completely. Don’t leave smudges as a smudge may still be determined as a mark.  Have an extra pencil and/or a sharpener.  Ensure that only machine recognizable marks are entered.  You cannot enter more than one mark for a particular question. If you do, the optical mark reader will reject it and will enter a blank mark for that question.  Always enter your name, seat number and exam (subject) (legibly) where asked at the top of the sheet. What is required on the right hand side is your Student ID Number. As your student number and name are the only means of identification please ensure that your number and name are correct. Remember: a bad mark will be rejected and an answer sheet without a Student ID Number will be rejected.
