TRANSLATION TOOLS AND RESOURCES

To ensure students do not rely excessively on translation tools such as  Google translate, all the texts included in the exam have already been translated by these tools so that a comparison may be made with the work submitted by students in the exam. While selective  use of such tools  is not prohibited, students should be aware that they do not provide perfect translations and must be used with precaution.
