2. Exam Structure and Question Types


- The exam consists of multiple-choice, short-answer, and extended-respo
- Topics are divided into Number, Algebra, Geometry, Measurement, Statis
- Marks are awarded for both correct answers and clear working steps.
- Some questions may require explanations or justifications of answers.

- Operations with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percentages
- Prime numbers, factors, and multiples
- Ratio, proportion, and rates of change
- Standard form and significant figures

Algebra:
- Simplifying algebraic expressions
- Solving linear equations and inequalities
- Graphing linear equations
- Basic quadratic equations
- Sequences and patterns

Geometry & Measurement:

4. Problem-Solving Strategies
- Understand the question: Read carefully and identify key information.
- Show your working: Even if the final answer is wrong, partial marks can b
- Use estimation: This helps to verify if your answer is reasonable.
- Break complex problems into steps: Solve in smaller parts to reduce mist
- Check your answers: Substitute values where possible to verify calculatio

5. Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them


- Misreading the question -> Highlight key terms
- Incorrect order of operations -> Follow BIDMAS/BODMAS
- Rounding too early -> Only round at the final step
- Forgetting units -> Always include correct units (cm, m, kg, etc.)
- Not simplifying answers -> Check if fractions or ratios can be reduced

---

6. Time Management Tips


- Allocate time based on marks per question.
- Start with easier questions to build confidence.
- Leave 10 minutes at the end to check answers.
- Avoid spending too long on one question-move on and return later.
- Use rough work for calculations before finalizing your answer.

7. Formula Sheet
- Area of a Triangle: (1/2) * base * height
- Pythagoras' Theorem: a² + b² = c²
- Quadratic Formula: x = (-b ± ?(b² - 4ac)) / 2a
- Simple Interest: I = PRT (Interest = Principal × Rate × Time)
- Circumference of a Circle: C = 2?r
- Area of a Circle: A = ?r²
- Volume of a Cylinder: V = ?r²h
- Mean Formula: Mean = (Sum of Values) / (Total Number of Values)

8. Practice Questions with Solutions

Question 1: Solve for x: 2x + 5 = 15


Solution:
2x = 15 - 5
2x = 10
x = 10/2 = 5

Question 2: Find the area of a triangle with a base of 8 cm and a height of 5


Solution:
Area = (1/2) * base * height
= (1/2) * 8 * 5
= 20 cm²

Question 3: Find the missing side of a right-angled triangle where a = 3 cm


Solution:
c² = a² + b²
c² = 3² + 4² = 9 + 16 = 25
c = ?25 = 5 cm
