, 4 EXAMINATION
Please note the following:
• The exam paper covers all the work which has been outlined in tutorial letter 101 and
specifically tests the outcomes specified in the tutorial letter 101. You need to use the
prescribed book (Savitch 7th, 8th or 9th edition) as well as all COS1512 tutorial letters
for your examination preparation.
• Work through all your assignments and tutorial letters providing solutions to the
assignments. We included additional notes in the solutions that should assist you
in understanding the work.
• Do not ignore assignment 3. Assignment 3 is self-assessment. Students frequently fail
the COS1512 exam because they have not mastered the last part of the study material,
which is covered by assignment 3.
• The examination consists of a single 2-hour paper.
• The total for the examination paper is 75 marks.
• The examination is a closed book examination, i.e. you are not allowed to bring any
notes or material to the examination centre.
• No calculators are allowed during the examination.
• There will be no multiple choice questions.
• The examination will be written on paper in an answer book.
• NOTE: When you work through the old exam papers, write out the answers completely.
You have to practice to write it down, as you don’t have a compiler in the exam to point
out compiler errors.
• Note that some questions may cover more than one learning outcome or topic.
During the examination, ensure that you:
• Read the exam paper calmly and properly before you start answering the questions
• Read the instructions and follow them.
• Read the answers again after completing the examination.
• Complete the questions that you struggled with.
It is advisable to read the exam paper before you start answering questions. Make sure that
you have completed all the answers before submitting your answer book or examination script.
