Aims & Objectives

About
Hi there! Are you a science or commercial student who will be writing Further Mathe-

matics in the upcoming WAEC examinations? Then you should see this.

This syllabus is a must-read for you as it exposes you to all the topics you should fo-

cus more on in Further Mathematics so you can have an A or B in your exams.

The syllabus will test you on your understanding of this subject which is a bridge be-

tween Elementary Mathematics and Higher Mathematics.

It will also test your ability to analyze data and draw valid conclusions.

If you'll be writing Further Mathematics in WAEC, then do yourself a favour; down-

load and study this syllabus. Get yourself a past questions booklet and practice daily

for guaranteed success.

Marking Guides & Sections

There will be two papers, Papers 1 and 2, both of which must be taken.

PAPER 1:

This first paper will consist of forty multiple-choice objective questions covering
the entire syllabus.

Candidates will be required to answer all questions in 1 hour for 40 marks. The
questions will be drawn from the sections of the syllabus as follows:
5
___________________________________________________________________ Aims & Objectives

• Pure Mathematics - 30 questions

• Statistics and probability - 4 questions

PAPER 2:

Paper 2 will consist of two sections, Sections A and B, to be answered in 2 hours for
100 marks.

Section A will consist of eight compulsory questions that are elementary in type for
48 marks. The questions shall be distributed as follows:

Pure Mathematics 4 questions

Statistics and Probability - 2 questions

Vectors and Mechanics - 2 questions

Section B will consist of seven questions of greater length and difficulty put into
three parts: parts I, II, and III as follows:

• Part I: Pure Mathematics - 3 questions

• Part II: Statistics and Probability - 2 questions

• Part III: Vectors and Mechanics - 2 questions

WAEC Grading System
Having a good grade is very important in every exam especially one like WAEC which
will determine your admission status in higher institutions. Below is a table showing
how WAEC grades you depending on your score

  

75-100 A1 Excellent

70-74 B2 Very Good

65-69 B3 Good

60-64 C4 Credit

55-59 C5 Credit

50-54 C6 Credit

45-49 D7 Pass

40-44 E8 Pass

39 and below F9 Fail

12
________________________________________________________________ WAEC Grading System

It is very important to score at least 50% which will give you a C6 in the 4 compul-
sory subjects as well as your core subjects or you could have problems getting admis-
sion and may have to re-write the exams.

For example, if you want to study Medicine and Surgery, you should try hard to score
high in Mathematics, English, Civic Education, and the trade subject you are writing
and your core subjects which are: Physics, Biology, and Chemistry
