I will send the exams at 11 am. You will send it back on or before 5 pm. Late submission will be given
deductions. Submissions on the next day will not be accepted unless with very valid reason confirmed
by parents or guardian. Each question must be copied in a bond paper, with necessary solutions after
each question and properly numbered (in order). Write legibly. Encircle your final answers. You can use
as many bond papers as needed. MODE OF SUBMISSION: If you are in the city and is possible for you,
please submit your test papers in the guard of our school, folded crosswise and stapled, with your
name outside. For those who cannot submit personally in school, email it back to me, on or before
5pm (scanned if you have scanner or send the pictures). I will gather the submitted works immediately.
God bless everyone and do good in the exams.
