THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE.
[No. 16

(3) Candidates must not communicate with each other or use any unfair means.

(4) Candidates should read the questions carefully before attempting to work them, and should confine their attention to the problems as presented, without dealing with extraneous matter. This instruction, which is applicable to all sections of the examination, has special reference to the subject-paper for drawing.

(5) All work, except that specified in the subject-paper for drawing, should be done in ink. The numbers of the questions attempted should be clearly indicated, but the questions themselves should not be copied.

(6) Candidates are permitted to use slide rules for checking their calculations, but in each case the full working necessary for arriving at the result must be shown in ink, otherwise no significance will be attached to the answer.

(7) The mathematical tables provided may be used by candidates in working any of the questions set in the examination, except those which state that reference thereto is not permissible.

(8) The question papers and mathematical papers, which are the property of the Marine Department, must not be written upon or defaced.

(9) The candidate should sign his name and write the port and date on the cover of each answer-book, also on each separate sheet used in working the problems and in answering the questions, including each sheet of drawing-paper used. Only one side should be used; and additional sheets will be supplied by the Examiner, if required.

(10) Credit will be given for clear statements, correct spelling and punctuation, good composition, and sound reasoning in answering the questions and in solving the problems; and bad grammar, faulty spelling, errors of punctuation, and indistinct reasoning will be discredited.

(11) Candidates may not vacate their seats or leave the examination-room without permission. If a candidate leaves the room he will not be permitted to go on with any sheet or problem which he had in hand before leaving the room.

(12) A candidate guilty of any breach of these rules will be subjected to all the penalties of failure, and may be excluded from further examination for such period as the Marine Department may decide.

BREACH OF RULES.

The circumstances attending any breach of the Rules or any unseemly conduct on the part of a candidate, should be reported immediately to the Chief Examiner.

VOLUNTARY RETIREMENT.

Each candidate, on first presenting himself, should be taken through the whole of the examination in order that his ability in each section may be ascertained and recorded. Voluntary retirement from any examination should be discouraged.

ORDER OF EXAMINATIONS.

Papers on practical mathematics, engineering knowledge, and drawing are given at the examinations for third-class and second- and first-class ordinary and motor certificates, and candidates are also questioned verbally on their practical knowledge.

Mathematics and drawing are omitted in the case of examination for the endorsement of a certificate for converse service in the same grade.

The examinations will, as a rule, be conducted in accordance with the following schedule:—

Time.	First Class.	Second Class.	Third Class.
First day— Morning session	Practical mathematics, first paper	Practical mathematics, first paper	Practical mathematics.
Afternoon session	Practical mathematics, second paper	Practical mathematics, second paper	Drawing.
