Paper format. National Exams, May 2014 — 98-Civ-B8 Management of Construction (the paper now catalogued as 16-Civ-B8). Three hours, closed book; one of two approved calculator models permitted. Six questions of equal value (20 marks each); the rubric states that any five constitute a complete paper and that only the first five presented in the answer book will be marked. All six are worked here, because this set is a study resource rather than an exam script.
