Exam Preparation for EOY Maths Paper A. Revision 1) Set a clear revision schedule. 2) Set aside a time slot to sit down and attempt past year paper at a conducive

environment. 3) Revise concept before attempting the questions. Problem solving steps and

formulas are more important than getting answers for revision questions. 4) Jot down your source of errors to avoid repeating the same errors again

during the exam. B. Before Exam Preparation 1) Check if all of your stationeries are in working condition. 2) Check if calculator model is within the approved list and reset your graphic

calculator. 3) Learn to use calculators wisely. 4) Keep healthy and stay alert. Dont study overnight, it will just be

counterproductive. C. Time/Stress Management 1) Bring a watch to keep track of time. 2) Calculate the marks/min to better manage your time.

Paper 1: 60 Marks for 90 minutes. Paper 2&3: 80 Marks for 120 minutes. Thus, you could spend a maximum of 1.5 minutes for 1 mark.

3) 1 Mark questions normally requires just a numerical answer or a simple line of statement.

4) Never stuck at a question for too long. You should move forward first and build up your confidence level before coming back to reattempt the question.

D. Presentation 1) Start every question on a fresh page (NOT a fresh piece of paper). 2) At the end of the exam, please arrange your answers in order. Do not

expect the examiners to search for your answers. 3) Present your workings in a readable manner, use dark black or blue pen to

answer questions and use 2B pencil to draw graphs. 4) When drawing graphs, all straight lines should use ruler; curves should use

curve rule; freehand drawing should to be as smooth as possible. E. Double Check [For the last 5 to 10 minutes of the exam, you should check all your answers.] 1) Check the validity and units for your answers. 2) Check if you have labelled the axis, origin and function name for all the

graphs. 3) Check if you are indeed answering the question.

E.g. If questions ask for coordinate, you cannot just give x-coordinate value, but your answer should be in (x, y) form.
