Paper format. National Exams, December 2015 —
98-Civ-B8 Management of Construction. Three hours, closed book, one approved
calculator (Casio or Sharp). Six questions, all of equal value (20 marks each); any five
constitute a complete paper and only the first five presented are marked. All six are
solved here, because the set is a study resource rather than an examination script.
