The Exam
The exam paper contains three sections: Sound, Graphics and Multimedia. You will answer 3 questions from a choice of 5 (NOTE that this applies from Spring, 2002 onwards and is a change from earlier exams in which 4 from 6 questions had to be answered, as in some of the example papers available below). You will HAVE to answer a question about sound in the exam. Examples of the sorts of questions to be found in each of these sections are given below.
