Before you start
- This paper. This paper has three parts, and your admission year and mode decide which you sit: Part A only, 30 marks in 1 hour; Parts A and B, 50 marks in 1 hour 45 minutes; Parts A, B and C, 70 marks in 2 hours 30 minutes. The cover of your own paper says which applies to you.
- Most asked here. Scope of environmental studies and basic terms (16 papers), Solid waste management (15 papers), Land resources: soil, forests, mining and dams (12 papers). These come back almost every year, so learn them first. The asked N× note beside each part counts the DU papers that set its topic.
- Pace. Two minutes a mark: about 20 minutes for each 10-mark question, with nothing spare in 2.5 hours. Move on when the time is up.
- Keep score. Every part opens a worked answer checked against the books. Turn the key when you have revised it; the boxes at the top fill in, on this device.
