Test directions :
- Students do not have the same order of questions. Hence, it is
needless to try to cheat.
- In case two copies are identical, we proceed to the discipline
committee to treat the case. (Six sheets will be transmitted to the
disciplinary committe since each two are identical)
- Be concise, precise accurate since your language accuracy counts in
the evaluation process. Grammatical errors have been considered in the
evaluation process)
I wish you all the best for success :
