Important Information The time allowed for the Examination Paper is 240 minutes. The use of the Geography Atlas for Secondary Schools is not allowed. A calculator may be used if necessary, but the steps of problem solving should also be presented. You can answer the questions in any order. First, read the questions carefully, think over your answer then write your answer in ink (with pen) in the appropriate place. You can correct your answer if necessary, but no points can be awarded for your answer in the cases of equivocal or unclear corrections, cancellations or corrections made with a pencil. Give the most adequate answers to the questions. More answers than required (e.g. naming three examples instead of the required two) are not awarded by extra points. The total number of points that can be awarded for assignments or assignment groups are shown beside/below the questions. Please leave the grey squares blank.
