Here's a complete list of topics to cover, organized by section:
📐 1. Numbers & Operations (4 questions)
Square roots — taking factors in/out of the radical
Properties of square roots (product, quotient rules)
Rationalizing the denominator
Powers with natural and rational exponents — multiplying, dividing, simplifying
Number sequences — finding patterns, identifying missing terms
🔢 2. Algebra & Functions (9 questions)
Simplifying algebraic expressions, like terms, short multiplication formulas
Operations with polynomials
Systems of linear equations — substitution, elimination methods
Quadratic equations — discriminant formula, Vieta's theorem and its converse
Linear and quadratic inequalities — solving and finding solution intervals
Ratio and proportion — percent problems, mixture problems, building math models
Motion problems — distance, speed, time
Linear functions — properties, graphs, applied problems (motion graphs, temperature
change)
Word problems — building mathematical models from real-life situations
📊 3. Statistics & Probability (3 questions)
Reading and analyzing tables and diagrams
Mean, median, mode — definitions, differences, and applied use
Combinatorics — addition and multiplication counting principles
📏 4. Geometry & Measurement (9 questions)
Inscribed and central angles in a circle
Equation of a circle — finding center and radius
Number of diagonals and sum of interior angles of polygons
Pythagorean theorem — applied to right triangles
Trigonometric values for 30°, 45°, 60° (sin, cos, tan, cot)
Area formulas — triangle, parallelogram, rhombus, trapezoid
Area of composite (complex) shapes
Volume of cube and rectangular prism (cuboid)
Triangle's four special points — centroid, incenter, orthocenter, circumcenter
Inscribed and circumscribed circles of polygons — radius relationships
🧠 Difficulty Levels to Prepare For
Level Description Questions
A – Knowledge Direct recall of formulas, definitions 4
B – Application Standard problems, 1–2 steps 12
C – Reasoning Multi-step, unfamiliar situations 4
✍️Stage 2 Written Topics (must know deeply)
1. Word problems — modeling with equations
2. Functions — graphs, analysis, interpretation
3. Combinatorics — counting problems
4. Triangle properties — special points, area, theorems
5. Polygon properties — inscribed/circumscribed circles, angle sums
Start with the A-level topics to build confidence, then move to B, and spend extra time on C-
level and the Stage 2 written topics as those carry the most marks.
