Paper 1: 50 objective questions with 4 option (1 Hour 15 min)

1. Read the entire question and all the answer choices before deciding on the answer. 2. Mark your answer clearly on the Objective Answer Sheet. 3. If you cannot answer a question, go on to the next question. Remember to come back to this question later. This will prevent you from wasting precious time. 4. Go through your answers after you have finished. You might want to change some of your answers.

Paper 2: Part A : Structure Questions (5-6)

1. Write neatly and clearly. 2. Be brief and to the point it is not necessary to repeat the question 3. Show your working for any calculation work. (Write down the formula, substitute the values into the formula, complete the calculation) 4. Use a pencil to draw diagrams or graphs. 5. Label diagram and graphs clearly. 6. Use the marks allocated to determine how much you should write. One mark is allocated for one point. 7. Use the instruction guide to answer the questions

1. Read all the questions before choosing those that you want to answer. 2. Re-read the chosen questions carefully to make sure you are interpreting them correctly. 3. You may explain your answer using appropriate diagrams (be sure to label all diagrams), equations, graphs, tables or any other suitable methods. 4. Give your answers according to the key instruction words. 5. Check the number of points in your answer with the number of marks allocated for the question. (One point is usually allocated one mark). If possible give one or two more points than the maximum marks allocated

a) Guided Question b) Experiment writing question

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT

Tip : In question form relating the manipulated variable (MV) and the responding variable(RV). (Must have question mark) Eg: What is the effect of (MV) on the (RV)? Tip: A statement stating the relationship between MV and RV. Eg : The higher the MV, the higher /lower the RV

2. HYPOTHESIS

3. VARIABLES

Manipulated variable - this variable is being change this experiment. Responding v - this is being measured in this experiment. Fixed/Constant v - these are factors being kept cons throughout the experiment.

4. LIST OF MATERIAL AND APPARATUS

Material : Things that can only be used only once; eg, solutions. Apparatus : Things that can be reused again and again. Eg: beakers, test tube.

5. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE

1. Steps where you describe how apparatus and

materials are handled (Setup of the experiment). 2. Steps where you describe how the

controlled/fixed variable is maintained.

3. Steps where you describe how the manipulated variable is altered. 4. Steps where you describe how the responding

variable is measured and the instrument to be used.

6. PRESENTATION OF DATA

In table form with titles and units. (The experiment has not been carried ou yet, so the results are not yet available).
