Primary answer

Candidates are not allowed to bring any paper or notebooks into the exam hall. Instead, each candidate is provided with one 'Scribble Pad' for rough work. You must write your name and registration number on the cover page. All calculations must be done on this pad. At the end of the 3-hour examination, the Scribble Pad must be returned to the invigilator. If you are caught taking the pad or any torn pages out of the hall, it is treated as a case of malpractice.
