Yes. The 2027 SEC syllabuses for G3 Mathematics (K310) and G3 Additional Mathematics (K341) each say that relevant mathematical formulae will be provided. Each syllabus has its own Mathematical Formulae section. Check the list for the paper you are sitting before deciding what to practise from memory.
The supplied reference and a personal revision sheet are separate things. Practise with the official list for your syllabus and leave your own formula sheet outside the examination premises. Follow the current paper instructions about the materials provided.
- Match the formula list to K310 or K341.
- Learn where to find frequently used entries.
- Practise choosing and applying formulae to unfamiliar questions.
- Check with staff if expected examination material appears missing.
Use the list for the subject you registered for
K310’s list includes mensuration entries such as the curved surface area of a cone and the surface area of a sphere. K341’s list includes the quadratic formula and trigonometry entries. Familiar examples are useful starting points. Read the complete Mathematical Formulae section in the syllabus rather than using a friend’s notes to decide what is supplied.
Keep the two official lists separate when practising both subjects. Label your practice copy with the syllabus code and examination year. A printed list from an older paper may be useful for revision, but the current syllabus is the reference for what its own formula section contains.
Practise the choice before the substitution
Suppose a K310 problem gives a cone’s vertical height and radius, then asks for its curved surface area. Finding the formula is only the first move. Identify the slant height the formula requires and determine it from the information supplied before substituting. Check that the requested surface is the curved part rather than the total surface.
In K341, if you use the quadratic formula, first write the equation in standard form and read the signs of the coefficients. A supplied expression does not fix a sign lost when rearranging the equation. Write the intermediate substitution so you can check it.

Ask staff about a missing or unreadable reference
When instructed to check the paper, use its materials list and any announcements. If a supplied page appears missing or unreadable, signal to an invigilator and identify what you are looking for. Let staff confirm the material for that paper.

Frequently asked questions
Can I bring a formula sheet I made myself?
Leave personal revision sheets outside the premises and use the materials supplied or authorised for your paper.
Do K310 and K341 have the same list?
Use each syllabus’s own Mathematical Formulae section.
Do I still need to practise the formulae?
Yes. Practise identifying the relevant relationship, checking its inputs and interpreting the result.
