HOW TO SCORE A1 IN ADD MATH

You should know:
-Simultaneous equation, solution of triangle, index no., motion along a straight line & linear programming will NOT appear in paper1.
-Permutations & combinations will NOT appear in paper2.
-In paper 2, ONLY solution of triangle, index no.,probability distributions, motion along a straight line & linear programming will appear in section C(20m).
-In section C, it consists of 4 question, 2 from form 4, 2 from form 5
-Differentiation, intergration are the hardest and most important chapter(in my opinion).
-Functions, linear law are the easiest chapter(in my opinion).

Right, first of all,
Master basic/concept--Get good reference book such as Pelangi, Sasbadi or Prestn (very hard to get one). Dun just read, no need to memorize..UNDERSTAND is the most important. And please go thrue every examples on how to solve the question. If you can't understand, you should seek help from the excellent one like me. Call 012-3445751 when u r in trouble. the number is like 911.... NOTE: Do A LOT of exercise

Master the formulae--Formula is da key to solve the question, but u dun need to memorize all the formula, SPM already provide, and you must appreciate it. You must know how to used it. That is why I dun find trigonometric hard, coz I can play the formula well.

Complete ur homework--Whenever teacher gave u homework, u must complete it..but now, I dun think this will help u.

Practice all trial/spm paper--You should start to do right now. Try to get other states paper especially from MARA, SBP as they provide a very good n quality questions but MARA questions nowadays much easier than my time. thats y ppl from the past era so smart n inteligent. Its ok if u dun have da answer, any questions u dunno how to solve, check out the examples from ur reference book and solve it, if not..ask the pro one again like me.

During exam,
Understand what da question want--If u can't understand, dun give up..try to think what chapter is this, and think of wat kind of formula you should used. If u can't, dun waste ur time, do other question first. Dun leave it BLANK!! And dun tell me da english standard is very high, many of u are superb in english, better than me..if I can understand it super well, y can't you?

Try not to short cut(means the steps to solve da Q is too short)--Yes, short cut can save time, but it is better not to. Coz u will make careless mistakes. but me always use shorcut as i did very less careless mistakes. so, dont follow my style. it juz to brilliant. one advantage of not using shortcut is it will gve marks although ur answer is wrong. You know right? Why every question contains 3-6 marks, why not 1-2 mark? but dont get confuse here as if u use shortcut and answer corect, full marks is always given. so up to u.

Check ur answer--After u have solve it, immediately u check ur answer. How? by substitute ur answer into it, for example:
f(x)=2x-5, when f(x)=0, x=2.5
substitute ur answer,x=2.5 into 2x-5, see whether f(x)=0.
If yes then congratulations, if not then try again but pls dont juz simply change ur answer. dont cheat examiner. they will know.
NOTE: If u found out that u have no time, leave it....

Dun over confident--Be careful, the question looks easy, but it will trick u. If they want obtuse angle, then ur answer must be obtuse angle. So I WARN u all, dun over confident..till u dun wanna read thrue the question. U will regret, and remember to check again although the question is easy, make sure u din kena.

Tired?--When comes to end, we will feel tired & stressful. Some of u might wanna stop, some of u wanna solve it quickly to get rest. So I suggest u should stretch urself, look at the green trees as green will heal ur rabun jauh or wondering around.

Use blue+black pen(not gel pen)--I always use it, nuo! Coz it looks neat, but if u dun wan oso can. And dun use pen to draw graph or label the graph, use pencil.

Last but not least, be well prepared and dun forget to bring ur scientific calculator but for simple calculation plz dont use calculator.
I hope this will help u....

will continue later with other subject....
