Long awaited, I'm sure. First there was the school holidays and then I only just today got a hardcopy of the exam as my students are not taking this March exam. Anyway, I have cross checked with a fellow friend and we only have minor differences. Below are my answers, NOT MPM's. I'm curious to find out how come the tabulation of the first 7 questions has no 'A' and 2 'B's and soooo many 'C's (5!)... I wonder if anyone can enlighten me on this? Feel free to contact me.
Here is a link to the scanned Reading paper. Try it before checking answers! (Reading Mac 2016)
Open for discussion:
1. C (do not be tricked to do 68-6=62 that global life expectancy in 1990 is for child, not BOY as required by the question)
2. B (72-54=18, not 9)
3. C (no info on fewer children)
4. C (no info on reason/income increase)
5. B (75.8)
6. C (no info on women)
