Can you show what you have learned?
Learning objectives
- Attempt the end-of-term paper
- Manage exam time

Overview
The end-of-term exam is your chance to show your grasp of Topics 1–4. Read every question twice, allocate time by marks, and always attempt every question — even a partial answer earns partial credit.
Time Strategy
Divide total minutes by total marks — that gives minutes per mark. Do not spend 20 minutes on a 5-mark question.
Question Types
Expect: define terms, short-answer explanations, scenario analysis, and short structured questions.
