Exam Practice C

Try and do it without looking up answers and do it in the recommended time. If you are happy working
on screen, you can do these tasks straight into Word. If you prefer paper and pencil, do the task under
timed conditions and then type it into Word to upload it (without changing anything). We ask for it in
Word and not scanned in as then tutors can comment on things electronically.
