Do you know what's one of the most effective ways to solve a big problem?

By breaking it into smaller problems.

As Form 6 students, you might be taken aback when you're told that there are a total of 18 chapters to cover for your STPM Maths T subject, for instance.

But what if I told you that you have three semesters to learn them and only be tested on 6 topics each semester? It does take some burden off your shoulders, right?

In this article, we will discuss the STPM Maths T syllabus for each term and the latest examination format for this subject.

Read the following information carefully as you prepare your report.

Don't forget to print out and complete the declaration statement and attach it to your report before the final submission.

The total mark allocation for your report is 40 marks.

• Introduction

Include the title of the report and describe the problem in your introduction.

• Methodology

Write down the application of appropriate methods to address the given problem. You should also list the collection of relevant data and information under this section.

You should include mathematical calculations and the final results with mathematical reasoning. Based on that, you should also interpret your results systematically.

You should discuss and summarise the outcomes of your assignment report.

Things To Take Note For Each Viva (Presentation) Session

The complete mark for your viva session is 20 marks.

• Understanding of the assignment

You need to provide complete and accurate explanations alongside critical discussion using appropriate terminology based on your assignment report.

• Communication

You should present the relevant explanations and examples clearly and effectively.

Important tip: Be calm and confident during the Q and A session after presenting your points.

We hope you have gained a new understanding towards the overall syllabus and examination format for your STPM Maths T subject through this article.
