You need to fill in your answer sheet correctly to have your multi-choice question (MCQ) exam answers marked successfully.
Before your exam:
- Buy a 2B (dark) pencil (and an eraser and pencil sharpener if you don't already have these)
- Familiarise yourself with how to fill in the answers on the sheets by watching this short (2:23 mins) video (MP4 179MB)
This video will show you how important it is for you to:
- Read and follow the information on the left-hand side of the answer sheet
- Write your name and the paper code neatly
- Enter your own student ID number – not the example one given on the sheet
- Fill in the circle for your chosen answer completely and neatly using a 2B (dark) pencil. Lighter pencils do not scan properly. If changing an answer, use an eraser to cleanly remove the previous answer
- Not make any marks elsewhere on the answer sheet – no doodling, drawing, making notes, etc. on the answer sheet
Doing these things will ensure that the scanning of your completed answer sheet is as accurate as possible. Your answers need to scan properly to get marked.
