NOTES ON 2015 -2016 APPLICATION QUESTIONS ON ACTS
In order to keep the Introductory remarks as brief as possible, two rulings were made for the Application
Questions. They are:
1. Eliminating all “Give a Complete Answer” designations. Since the answer[s] are given to each
question, all answers demanding multiple clauses, phrase, or key words are to be ruled as if they
were labeled as “Give a Complete Answer(s).”
2. Allowing the “Application Question” designation to be combined with other introductory remarks
concerning the question.
