How to blast Further mathematics

paragraph
Further mathematics is a vital subject in Educational institutions including secondary schools. It can also be a general subject for students. Most science students believe that further mathematics is a tedious subject. This is a wrong belief because further mathematics is all about understanding the principles of the topics you want to learn.
paragraph
Every mathematical topic has principles which are usually guided by formulas. Once you can understand the formulas and how to manipulate them. You are good to go.
paragraph
The further mathematics Wassce exams can be pretty tedious for some students. However, a lot of students find it difficult to study further mathematics because of the complexity of some topics in further mathematics. Students spend a lot of time studying their books but only a few grasp the full understanding of the topic studied.

paragraph
Further Mathematics is divided into two parts which are objective and theory.
paragraph

Further mathematics theory

paragraph
This part consists of sections which are section A and section B. Section A consist of eight questions which you are to answer while section B consists of seven to eight questions which you are to answer five.
paragraph

Some tips for further mathematics theory are;

paragraph
  • Reading all the topics in further mathematics under the WAEC syllabus because you can’t guess where the question might come from.
  • When you come across a question that you do not know or you don’t have a clue about, leave the question and answer the ones you know.
  • Then you can now answer the ones you do not know or have clue about.
  • Use the elimination method for questions to answer questions that you have little or no clue about.
  • When you start the exam, answer the questions that you can answer as quickly as possible so that you can have time to cross-check your work.
    paragraph

Further mathematics objective

paragraph
This part consists of forty questions with four options each. The candidate is expected to answer all.
paragraph

Some tips for further mathematics objectives are;

paragraph
  • Make sure you are prepared to do calculations on what you have learnt throughout secondary school.
  • Always analyze the marks for each question and answer them according to their marks.
  • If you are asked to enumerate three calculations and the question carries nine marks. You must show your workings properly. You can make some statements if possible so the examiner would come to understand what you are doing.
  • Make sure you answer the necessary questions
  • Make sure each number fall in the same category. For example, if you answer numbers 5a and 5b but you are not able to answer 5c. Make sure that you leave a blank space for that question. Do not move to the next question like number 4 without leaving space.
