GENERAL COMMENTS
For Very Weak Students :
Organise a class where teacher emphasises on how to get at least one mark for every
question (sub questions either in !aper " or !aper #$
For %ntermediate students:
&mphasise on topics where questions are certain to come out$
For &'cellent Students
(o a lot of papers in S!) format to reduce careless mistakes$
&mphasise on the steps * details required to get full marks+ especially in
paper # such as round off errors$
