TIME: 15 minutes

Teacher's Paper Guidelines for the conduct of the Mathematics Examination ? Mental Paper

1. Words written in bold should be emphasised.

2. Read, loudly and clearly, each question twice in succession, and then allow 5, to 10, to 20 seconds as the test progresses through the three sections.

3. Access to rough paper for working out answers is not allowed. Any working on the answer sheet, however, will not be penalised.

4. The questions should be read out in English and no code-switching/mixing is allowed. Code-switching is permitted only for giving pupils instructions.

5. Before starting the test, read out the following instructions, using exactly these words: ? I will read out each question twice. Listen carefully both times. You will then have time to work your answer. Se naqralek kull mistoqsija darbtejn wara xulxin. Ismagni sew. Wara jkollok il-in biex tweibha. ? If you make a mistake, cross out the wrong answer and write the correct answer next to it. Jekk tieu ball f'xi risposta, aqtagha u ikteb ir-risposta t-tajba dejha. ? You will not be allowed to ask any questions once the test has started. Ma tistax tistaqsi mistoqsijiet hekk kif jibda t-test. ? You may do your working on the free space on the paper, but write your answer in the box given. Tista' tua l-ispazju vojt fil-karta gall-working, ida fil-kaxxa ikteb biss ir-risposta.

6. At the end of the test, read out the following instructions, using exactly these words: ? The test is finished; put down your pens. It-test spia; poi l-bajrow fuq il-mejda.
