To all RKMfilers,

Please take note that the set of questions given in the Quizzer (Series 2) were collected
from the previous Board Examinations hence no answers readily available. RKMfiles
Team is researching on the remaining answers of the other sets and will upload them at
any given time on or before the October 2007 Board Exam.

Kindly visit www.rkmfiles.net regularly and check on the updates. Please bear with us!

Thank you.
