Timea Rucz 5 years 9 months

SOS! Can someone tell me, that for instance in section 3, the task asks you to answer the question with no more than 3 words? So the 300 million should be written with letters instead of numbers, am I right? Also, 25% should be written with letters? Or if I would write my answer with numbers on the exam, would that be correct? Thanks!

Question 22: the instructions state write no more than three words, however, the answer is said to be 300 million. Can this be correct though because 300 is actually a number and the instructions don't permit the use of numbers? It states three words. (not and or numbers)

Semo 9 years 4 months

"C" is the correct answer because as per the audio, if you go straight up the steps, turn left and the building is on the right. So when you turn left from stairs, now you need to turn right, which indicated that the building is on the another side of that road.

Abdul Karim 9 years 4 months

7.5 of 9, which is very good.
