THINGS TO REMEMBER!!!!

STATE - must in sentence/keywords.. NO equation n Formula…

DEFINE - can be in sentence/keywords or equation n formula (justified)

DERIVE – 90% derivation is bentuk lazim.. 10 % tidak lazim…. Lazim mean biasa jumpa kat reference book .. tak lazim higher order derivation takde kat buku.
So hafal dalam buku punya OK!!

Calculation – Its safer to write formula… marks is given for formula if calculation wrong.. you wrong calculate no formula 0 mark!! You wrong calculate yes
formula u got 1mark!!

HOPEFULLY THIS CHECKLIST WILL HELP U A LOT…..
