Mathematics T2..

As always, paper two will be the hardest paper for any subject. So as Mathematics T2, it is actually as hard as Additional Mathematics Paper 2 but it is for Form Six students only.

Mathematics T2 is actually very easy for certain topics, such as Data Description and Probability. These topics actually are what we have learned in Form Five and Form Four. Almost 90% are same, except for certain new topic such as Poisson distribution. But, it is not something you must scare with 'cause it is very simple, remember the formula and understand what questions asked, you can do it very well.

The main problem in Mathematics T2 is how far you understand the questions and how far you understand the topics. This is because Mathematics T2 questions almost all include sentences, so if you are not good in english, it will be a problem for you.

From question number 1 to 7, the topics are not very easy for you to score. The topics include trigonometry, solution of triangle, vector and differential equation.
There is certain that you can easily score such as solution of triangle and trigonometry. For these two topics, you just have to remember the formulae and you can answer it easily. However, for vector and differential equation, it is not too easy for you to score. For differential equation, you may face one easy question that you only need to do it, but normally there is another question related to this topic that sometimes not easy to understand. This is because the question include sentences, and you have to interpret the data in the text into formula on your paper.

In addition, from number 8 to 12, normally the questions will ask you about data description and probability. Data description, which is the easiest topic, will only be asked once, the less will be about probability. For this section, you must score at least 90% of the overall mark, only that you can score for Mathematics T2. Remember also, in this section, you must answer all questions, don't leave any questions behind. The examiner can give you mark already even if you just write formula and subtitute the formula with information that you get.

Mathematics T2 need a lot of practices just like Mathematics T1. You can actually mix what you have learned in T1 with what you have learned in T2. The examiners actually not that strict in marking paper, they will feel sorry if see you made mistakes in exam and will try to help you out. Mathematics T2 is not for you to scare, but for you to score. :)
