10. IDQ

11. Answering the questions
There are 5 questions. Answer all.
Organize your thoughts. When it is organized, so will your workflow.
Messy work will make the lecturers feel annoyed as they have to look for your answers – bear in mind that lecturer handling one section = students – each paper has 5 questions
TOTAL – 250 to 300 questions to mark
Don’t leave a question blank – just write down anything you know that might be related
Study smart, pray and tawakal.
