SPM PAPER 1
STRATEGY TO ANSWER
PAPER 2
- Subjective questions
( 2 hours 30 minutes)
SPM PAPER 2
Section A
1. Consists of 8 structure questions.
answer all.
SPM PAPER 2
4. The structured questions in Section A are
usually based on diagrams, tables, graphs, or
data related to a certain situation or
phenomenon.
SPM PAPER 1
Section A (Structure)
1. Be able to interpret diagrams, photographs, tables and
graphs to relate to physics concepts and principles.
SPM PAPER 1
Section B
1. Section B consists of two questions. You need to
answer only one question from this section.
SPM PAPER 1
5. You are normally asked to state the characteristics
shown in the diagram and also to state the Physics
principle involved.
SPM PAPER 2
Section C
1. Section C consists of two questions but you must
answer one question only from this section.
SPM PAPER 3
Section A.
1. Consists of 2 structured questions.
Answer both.
SPM PAPER 3
5. Required to state the MV, RV and FV based on
the aim and the procedure of the experiment.
SPM PAPER 2
4. State one suitable inference that can made from the situation.

TIPS FOR Paper 3
SPM PAPER 3
1. Aim of the Experiment
2. Variables (3 marks)
Manipulated variable and responding Variable
Students can copy directly from the question (from the
sentence of aim of the
experiment)
Constant variable
must be in measured quantity.
Example:
The diameter of spring (the measured quantity regarding to
the spring should
be stated clearly)
Note:
Avoid to give more than 1 answer for this question. Any wrong
answer will cancel SPM
thePAPER
correct.
3
3. Tabulation of Data (5 @ 6 marks)
The answer should contains:
. Exact columns
. Exact rows
. Write all the quantities that has units
. Decimal points for each column must be consistent
. Accurate measurement
4. Draw A Graph
A graph should have:
. correct axis with units
. uniform scales
. points that were correctly plot
. the best straight line
SPM PAPER 3
5. Relationship between responding and
manipulated variable
. Directly proportional - if a graph shows a straight line begin
from (0,0)
. Increases linearly - if a graph shows a straight line but
intercept at Y-axis other than 0.
. Decreases linearly - if a graph shows a straight with a
negative value of gradient of the graph

SPM TIPS:
Student can give more then one answer for this question. No
penalty for the answer which is unsuitable.
