Important considerations for your study for your exam:
Your exam will comprise six (6) short answer questions, one from each of topics 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.
You will choose to answer five (5) questions only. Each question is worth 10 marks, the exam is
worth 50 marks of the total for the unit. There is no exam hurdle in this unit, your total marks
including all assessments need to add to 50 to gain a minimum of a pass.
Please study all six topics that will make up the exam, choosing to study only 5 in the hope that the
actual question on a particular topic is the part of the topic you studied limits you considerably.
