Hi Vanessa,
A quick update on the 2 different syllabus of Elementary Mathematics 4016 (New) and 4017(Old)

For the new syllabus:

  • Calculators are allowed for both Paper 1 and 2
  • There is formulae sheet provided for the new syllabus as well.
  • There isn’t anymore Transformations, Loci, part of vectors is also streamlined.
  • There is added new component like in Statistics the Box-Whisker diagram, stem and leaf plot, dot diagrams, calculation of Standard deviation, Matrices, Arc length of circle, area of sector

Advantages of new syllabus:

  • You can easily get hold of the latest textbooks as almost every school is adopting the new syllabus.
  • Calculators and formula sheet are provided so rote memorization is minisized.
  • You do not have to deal with visual topics like transformations, loci, part of vectors.
  • If you do not do well in the retake, you can still continue with the new syllbus.

Advantages of old syllabus:

  • Those are the things which you have learnt it previously and might have a little recollection so relearning is easier and faster.
  • You can refer to the TYS for reference questions, after all the old syllabus has been around for quite long.
  • No calculator for Paper 1 so the questions are testing on basic understanding of concepts

Important Points:

  • Registration for private candidates start early in the year (Feb-Mar)
  • Start preparation early and be consistent
  • Preparation for E-Math involves Sec 1 – 4 syllabus.
