⏩The question is a mixture of OBJ (Objective) and fill-in-the gap. OBJ is usually around 35-40% and fill-in-the-gap covers 60-65%.
⏩ The ratio of the OBJ to fill-in-the-gap questions depend on the course you are writing the exam.
⏩At times, some of the questions raised in OBJ are repeated in the fill-in-the-gap.
⏩ All the courses carry 70 or 100 questions, except some Mathematics courses which carries just 35 questions and 2 marks are allotted to each question.
