This document provides instructions for a science exam, including: - The exam has two sections, A and B, with all questions compulsory. - Section A questions range from 1-3 marks and require short 1-2 sentence or 30-50 word answers. - Section B questions are 2 marks each and based on practical skills, requiring brief answers. - The document then provides two sample exam questions, one for physics asking about work done when force is perpendicular to displacement, and another scenario asking where to make a hole in a water-filled balloon to get maximum force out.
