A GENERAL GUIDE Paper 1

1. Paper 1 PMR Mathematics covers all topics from Form 1 to Form 3 and requires skill higher than BASIC SKILL. 2. Paper 1 consist of objective questions with 4 choices of answer. 3. Candidates have to do complete revision covering all topics and do not at all choose certain topics only 4. Paper 1 contains topics covering NUMBERS, SHAPES and ALGEBRAIC themes. 5. Skills related to NUMBERS, SHAPES and ALGEBRA complement each other ; without any one of the skill, others cant be acquired. For example, questions on SHAPES require a lot of ALGEBRAIC and NUMBERS skills whilst questions on ALGEBRA require skills on NUMBERS or vice versa. 6. Skills related to NUMBERS should be built first whilst skills on ALGEBRA are very important to solve many problems. 7. Paper 1 will take place after Paper 2 has been executed.

4 choice of answers are prepared for each question

1. Use the final 5 to 10 minutes to recheck answers. 2. Do not wait till all questions are answered and only then transfering them to the OMR answering paper. Transfer each answer after each question has been answered. 3. Each question needs more or less 1 to 2 minutes to solve. If it cant be solved, shift to other question. 4. If there are still questions that cant be answered for the second time, you may have to guess the answer. Do so but after all distractors have been removed.

GENERAL GUIDE Paper 2

Paper 2 is in the form of written subjective. Questions are constructed according to KBSM syllabus at minimum to high capability level. Skills tested are basic skills in certain topic listed in the syllabus . Concepts tested are basic Mathematical concepts that all Form 3 students should have acquire from certain topic. 5. Questions are phrased in short and moderate sentences not using long and difficult words. 6. Questions are focused to types that have certain difficulty level. This allows differentiation between students that acquired basic skill with those that acquired minimum level skill.

ANSWERING METHODS Paper 2

SHOW CLEAR WORKING METHOD. EXAMPLE 1 : Cik Nuruls monthly salary is RM 470. How much is her annual salary? Show working method in the space provided.

Answer : _____________ 2. IF NO WORKING METHOD CAN BE WRITTEN, JUST WRITE DOWN THE ANSWER. EXAMPLE 2 : Between translation, rotation, reflection and enlargement, which one involves change of size.

No working method can be shown.

Jawapan : ______________ 3. DRAW DIAGRAM REQUESTED USING GEOMETRICAL INSTRUMENT (PROTRACTOR, RULER, COMPASS etc) EXAMPLE 3 : Using ruler and compass, construct a 30o angle. Make sure there are signs of intersection of 2 cicles to prove you used the compass. You can use the protractor to double check it is a 30o angle.
