Advice:
Most of the questions asked students to predict what will happen next and give out the
reason. These type of questions can be seen in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 PMR
examination. Nevertheless, don’t think that some questions are impossible come out in
Section B question 7 & question 8 or Section A question 1. For an example, in 2008,
simple machines come out in Section B question 7 unexpectedly. However, Chapter 3
Biodiversity is the most which come out in Section B question 7. Remember, the word
“Based on your observation”, this means that you must write what you see in the diagram
or you will lost about 4 marks in question 7 (somebody might get 0 mark in this question).
