How to use the sample

Set a timer for 16 minutes: the real Part A gives you 48 seconds a question, closed book, so answer from memory. Afterwards read the explanation for every question, including the ones you got right: the reasoning is where the learning is.

All questions are original and no exam content is reproduced.
