Ace the WASSCE Elective Maths Theory Section

The theory section on the WASSCE elective/further maths question paper is the part that pragmatically  tests your knowledge in solving questions. That is to say, in this section, you are required to show the detailed solutions to any question you  so choose to solve.

 The theory section  normally has some set of questions which usually appear at the beginning section of the paper. These questions are usually compulsory to be answered. However, the upside is that they are usually easier to solve, in the sense that they do not require much steps  in other to arrive at a final answer. Also, there are usually less sub- questions in the compulsory question  section,  as compared to other sections that enables you to choose from a wide rage of questions.

To  ace the WASSCE elective/ further Mathematics,  you must  have an idea of the kinds of questions that  do frequently appear. For example, you should know that the most popular topics on the WASSCE theory  optional  sections are : differentiation, correlation, matrices,  vectors, mechanics, transformation,permutation and combination. You should also know that  the compulsory section on the WASSCE elective/ further Maths theory section could have  questions drawn from any topic.

 So what is the catch you might ask?? The catch is that you should generally:

1).   Build your strength in all topic areas. This would help you to easily  chose which questions to answer first. Remember, answer only questions you know you are well sure of getting it correct.
2).  Watch track of your time.
3).   Don't be too anxious to answer a question you think you can answer quite correctly. Stop! Take a breath or two, and read through the question carefully, before attempting to answer circumspectly.
4).  Make sure your solutions in the answer booklet are dandy . Number your work correctly and try to avoid mistakes.
5). Avoid exam malpractice. Once you learn hard, the right solutions would come to your remembrance. Besides, once you keep off from  an exam malpractice, you would be in the  right position to question any negative occurrences with respect to your result.
