PAPER 1
A GENERAL GUIDE – Paper 1
1. Paper 1 PMR Mathematics covers all topics from Form 1 to Form 3 and requires skill higher than
BASIC SKILL.
2. Paper 1 consist of objective questions with 4 choices of answer.
3. Candidates have to do complete revision covering all topics and do not at all choose certain topics
only
4. Paper 1 contains topics covering NUMBERS, SHAPES and ALGEBRAIC themes.
5. Skills related to NUMBERS, SHAPES and ALGEBRA complement each other ; without any one of
the skill, others can’t be acquired. For example, questions on SHAPES require a lot of ALGEBRAIC
and NUMBERS skills whilst questions on ALGEBRA require skills on NUMBERS or vice versa.
6. Skills related to NUMBERS should be built first whilst skills on ALGEBRA are very important to
solve many problems.
7. Paper 1 will take place after Paper 2 has been executed.
