Which topics always comes in core mathematics
It’s hard to say. It’s best to cover the topics in the recent syllabus and you should be fine.
Please what topics are the 13 questions, and the paper one are we to solve in 1½ hours because some questions need to be critically calculated
I’m not sure I understand what you mean. Please elaborate. Cheers.
I am happy to be here and I am here to learn
Welcome. I’m sure you’d learn a lot. I suggest you read my guide on how to pass the WASSCE (http://larnedu.com/pass-wassce-waec-guide/). Best wishes.
Please we need the topics of the 2020 syllabus
Coming soon.
Please what topics made up to the 13 question on core maths
Please how is the essay part(core mathematics) rounded down
I’m not sure what you mean Stephen Okyere, please explain.
Please i need help on the major differences between the teaching syllabus and that of the WAEC syllabus on core MA maths.
They’re very similar. The teaching syllabus serves as a guide for teachers to use in preparing for the WASSCE. So you can use both to help you prepare for the WASSCE. Best wishes.
