Section A: 2 Mark Questions 

• Students can expect simple one-word questions and answers in this section. Some basic problems that can be asked from Mathematics of Chance (Probability) etc.

• Follow through the fundamentals of formulas, and equations. Think promptly and answer in one word or line only. 

• Spend less time solving problems from this section. A maximum of two-three minutes is enough for each question. 

Section B: 3-Mark Questions

• The section may include theorem problems from Circles and Tangents, second degree equations, and finding terms in a chronological order. 

• Clearly outline your steps, the entire steps is graded by boards so try practicing sums from this section to get accommodated with the equations. 

• State the values, use the formula and demonstrate at least two calculations. Don’t forget to use units such as cm, cm², or liters. Leaving this may risk losing a half-mark. 

Section C: 4-Mark Questions 

• Often considered as the section that gains you more marks. The section contains 32 mark questions and includes a lot of multi-step problems. Topics include conventional trigonometry (heights and distances), distance and midpoint formulas in coordinates, and the sum of arithmetic sequences.

• Whatever time is left practice trigonometry angles, right angled triangle as per word problem and other refine your figure drawings as it will gain you more marks. 

• Here you can write formulas, step wise calculations for questions from geometry or trigonometry.

Section D: 5-Mark Questions 

• This section covers 30 Marks and includes major construction questions (like drawing an incircle, circumcircle, or tangents), finding the Median in Statistics, and complex volume/surface area problems from Solids.

• Here you need to be ready with your geometry instruments and practice construction problems as much as you can. Practice how to accurately create and complete the cumulative frequency table for the median in statistics.

• This section requires much time to solve the problems, so keep at least 40-60 minutes for this section so as to solve the questions on time. Construction questions need patience and neat figures so practice in advance to maintain the pace.
