Write in dark blue or black pen. Use a pencil for any diagrams or graphs. Do not use staples, paper clips, glue or correction fluid. Answer all questions. If working is needed for any question, it must be shown in the space below the question. Omission of essential working will result in loss of marks. The use of an approved scientific calculator is expected, where appropriate. If the degree of accuracy is not specified in the question, and if the answer is not exact, give the answer to three significant figures. Give answers in degrees to one decimal place. For , use either your calculator value or 3.142, unless the question requires the answer in terms of . The number of marks is given in brackets [ ] at the end of each question or part question. The total number of marks for this paper is 90. This document consists of 23 printed pages. ORCHID PARK SECONDARY SCHOOL Preliminary Examination 2024 For Examiner’s Use Total Calculator Model :
