Paper format. National Exams, May 2016 —
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 in the answer book are marked.
All six are solved here, because the set is a study resource rather than an
examination script.
