Section Review

Logical Reasoning & General Knowledge

This section was heavily weighted towards logical reasoning, with multi-step calculation problems (Q1, Q5, Q15), data interpretation from charts and tables (Q2, Q14, Q17), and a strong focus on identifying logical structures, assumptions, and flaws in arguments (Q7, Q10, Q11, Q12, Q20). Spatial reasoning (Q9, Q19) also featured. Overall, it tested critical thinking and analytical skills more than rote general knowledge.

Biology

The Biology section in 2018 had a clear emphasis on molecular and cellular biology. Key topics included protein structure (Q24), DNA structure and replication (Q30, Q39), gene expression, and the mechanisms of meiosis (Q25, Q26). Questions on human physiology were present but focused on specific systems like the cardiac cycle (Q28) and respiratory system histology (Q32). Genetics questions were prominent, covering inheritance patterns (Q31) and gene mapping (Q27).

Chemistry

Chemistry questions covered a broad range of core topics. There was a strong focus on fundamental calculations, including oxidation states (Q41), stoichiometry, and gas laws (Q48). Acid-base theories, particularly Brønsted-Lowry, were tested (Q49). Other key areas included periodic trends (ionisation energy, Q45), molecular geometry and polarity (VSEPR, Q47), and IUPAC nomenclature for organic compounds (Q46). The section required both solid conceptual understanding and quantitative problem-solving skills.

Physics and Mathematics

The math questions focused on algebra (solving quadratic and rational equations, Q53) and geometry (area of polygons, Q54, coordinate geometry, Q56). The physics questions covered classical mechanics (Newton's laws, Q55), electricity (resistance calculation, Q58), and the kinetic theory of gases (Q59). The problems were generally application-based, requiring the selection and use of the correct formula.
