CONCLUSION:

 ADDITIONAL MATHEMATICS 4030/2 HAS 100 MARKS WHOSE WEIGHT IS 55%.

 THIS MEANS THAT WHATEVER PERCENTAGE WHICH A CANDIDATE GETS IS CALCULATED

OUT OF 55%.

 TEACHERS OF MATHEMATICS SHOULD STOP MARKING TESTS USING TICKS (√) ONLY PUTTING
THE MARK AT THE FINAL ANSWER.

 THE BEST WAY OF MARKING TESTS AND EXAMINATIONS IS BY ALLOCATING METHOD

MARKS, B MARKS, ACCURACY MARKS, MR-1, PA-1 ETC.

 LEARNERS SHOULD KNOW THAT MARKS ARE EARNED BY SHOWING ESSENTIAL WORKING
CLEARLY.
