Notes
Each multiple choice question comes with four potential answers. Only one of these answers is correct; the other three are wrong. You must identify the correct answer.
Each assignment question asks you to either write a short answer (of around a paragraph) or perform a calculation. Note that some questions have multiple-parts (i.e. Question 1 a, b, c, etc.).
The exam will be sat at your nearest authorised testing centre. Please note that the exam fee is additional to your course fees.
