Some words of advice for O level Chemistry MCQ (Paper 1)

Tips to look out for O level Chemistry MCQ:

– Remember: you only have 1 hr to complete 40 questions, that is a maximum of 1 hr 30 sec for each question with zero time for checking at the end of the examination.

– My advice is to spend 1 minute for each question so that you can some extra time to come back and think about the questions you skipped and also do a quick check of your answers (e.g. whether you shade your answers correctly or not).

– Don’t spend too long on ONE question. If you don’t know, just skip first. Don’t waste time on ONE question you don’t know and rush through the last 10 questions towards the end when time is running out. The last 10 questions may be the easy questions to be answered!

– Shade your answers IMMEDIATELY. You can circle the answers on the question book but DO NOT leave it to the last minute to transfer your answers. If you have limited time towards the end, you will rush through the shading and most likely you will shade wrongly. You just need to miss one question for the whole shading process to turn into a disaster.

– Do your calculation questions fast and accurate, take note of careless mistakes.

– Remember the solubility rules at your fingertips and your Qualitative Analysis.

– Read the four options given to you. Do not rush into selecting the option you THINK is correct. Remember to always choose the BEST answer from the four options. Sometimes, 2 options may seem correct at first glance but you are to choose the BEST answer. You need to convince yourself that the other 3 options are WRONG. And you have to do this within the time limit.

– Be confident of your concepts. Study hard and you will excel in your Paper 1.

Good luck and all the best!

Suggested answers to GCE O Level 2014 A. Math (4047) Paper 2

1(i)  When t = 0, 20 + A = 80, so A must be equal to 60.

1(ii)  k = 0.288 (to 3 SF)

1(iii) Since t > 3.82, it is safe to give the food 4 min after removal from the microwave.

———————————————————————————————————–

2(i) Remainder = – 12

2 (ii)  f(-2) = 0, so (x+2) is a factor of f(x).  Solving f(x) = 0, x = -2, 1/2 or 3.

———————————————————————————————————-

3(i)  Length of rectangle = 9/2 + Sqrt(3)/6

3(ii) c = -1

———————————————————————————————————–

4(I) 2.25 4

(ii) 8x^2 + 5x + 64 = 0

———————————————————————————————————–

5(a) x^2 – 8x + 32 = 0. No real solution because discriminant is less than 0.

5(b) y = 1/x^2

———————————————————————————————————–

6(I) Use the fact that triangle ACE is isosceles and the alternate-segment theorem to state that angle ACE = angle ABC. Angle DEF = angle ECA + angle EAC.

6(ii) angle DFE = 2 x angle ACB.

6(iii) Use the fact that angle BAC = 180 deg – (angle BAF + angle CAE).

So 2 x (angle BAC) = 360 deg – 2(angle BAF + angle CAE).

———————————————————————————————————-

7(I)  p = 3 and q = 2

7(ii) (a) increasing

7(ii) (b) decreasing

7(iii) It is a maximum point

7(iv) 0

Ad hoc O Level Math or Physics Tuition from 20 Oct to 26 Oct 2014

Firstly I would like to wish all O Level students all the best in your English exams on Monday. I’m aware that you have no exams from 21st to 26th Oct, and 27th to 31st Oct is Hell Week for most O level students.

So if you are a last-minute worker and you are desperate for some training in Math or Physics, please do consider coming to my place for 2-hr consultations during that precious week of 21 to 26 Oct. I’ve made myself relatively free in that week for this purpose.

Do contact me at 97860411 if you need additional training in Math, A. Math or Physics.

Rgds,

Mr Ilyasa
