Since it’s my first time attempting a paper based exam(SBL), I would like to know the following:
1)Essentials to be filled in the answer booklet
2)Where should we write the question number as well as the sub question number(to the left or right of the margin)in the answer booklet
3)Can we write or mark on the question paper
4)Do’s and Dont’s in the answer bookletThanks in advance!
October 30, 2019 at 11:04 am #5512261 I should think you need to fill in the cover page…..candidate number etc. Never your name.
2 Left would be normal.
3 Yes. Essential when reading and digesting the questions.
4 Use black ball point. Questions do not have to be attempted in order, but carefully number each part. Use paragraphs when writing your answer. Make sure you apply theories : description of a theory is unlikely to generate marks for you.

Just another clarification,I have read in the previous threads that we are required to insert the question number in a “bubble” on the top of the page.
I need some clarity regarding this,
if the answer to a question extends to more than 3 pages( for example), do we have to put the same question number in the “bubble” on each page(like for the next 3 pages on top the same question number or only once) ????October 30, 2019 at 11:56 pm #551262I don’t think any harm will be done by entering the question number several times know. It will either be clear when you get into the exam, or ask the invigilator.
