The complaint on the Advanced Matriculation Chemistry Paper II examination (May 12) gave the impression that candidates were disadvantaged because they were not given a copy of the Periodic Table of elements.

This is incorrect.

For information, candidates were not required to demonstrate their knowledge of the Periodic Table in any of the questions in Paper II.

All the necessary data for working out the questions were given in the paper, as usual.

Questions requiring some knowledge of the Periodic Table were set in Paper I and no copy of the Table was given, as specified in the syllabus.
