03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 24 months | From July 1954 to July 1956 is exactly 24 months. |
| 2 | 12 years | 1960 minus 1948 is 12 years; it targeted the armed wing of the Malayan Communist Party. |
| 3 | 17 months | One year and five months, that is 17 months. |
| 4 | Eight | Australia, France, New Zealand, Pakistan, the Philippines, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States. |
| 5 | 71 days | From 23 August to 2 November is 71 days. |
| 6 | 18 days | From 22 October to 9 November is 18 days. |
| 7 | Three years | 1966 minus 1963 is three years; it ended with the Bangkok agreement. |
| 8 | 75% | 55 plus 20 is 75, that is three quarters of export value. |
| 9 | Twenty-nine | Twenty-nine countries and territories were represented at Bandung in 1955. |
| 10 | Wrong: the accords set only a temporary military line, and the 1956 elections never took place. | The 17th parallel was provisional, the elections were never held, and unification came only in 1975. |
04 What to do after marking
- After marking, redo only the wrong items and write down which step went wrong (formula, unit, or misread number).
- Repeat the same item two days later; move to the next paper only when both attempts are correct.
- Parents only need the answer and note columns; there is no need to explain every item.
Put the dates on a timeline; the order is easier to remember that way.Tutor Registration →
