Open the official eight-page SEAB formula list, browse every page and learn what it gives you, what it leaves to you, and how to use it under exam timing.

Quick answer

What is MF27?

MF27 is SEAB’s official eight-page List of Formulae and Results, used from 2025 in the Singapore-Cambridge A-Level Mathematics examinations. It is shared across H1 Mathematics (8865), H2 Mathematics (9758), H2 Further Mathematics (9649) and H3 Mathematics (9820). The booklet covers selected results, so use it alongside the syllabus for your subject. Check SEAB’s 2026 syllabus page.

What MF27 helps with, and what you still need to decide

MF27 is a reference, not a worked solution. Identify the mathematical task first, then use the booklet to confirm a relevant result and continue with your own reasoning.

Question situationMF27 can help you checkYou still need to do
Series or approximationA listed standard expansion.Choose the expansion and substitution, show the required terms and attend to the question’s conditions.
Trigonometric identityWhether a relevant listed identity matches the expression.Choose a route through the proof and manage signs, angles and algebra correctly.
Vectors or calculusSelected standard results and formula forms.Set up the geometry or integral, select the method and show why it applies.
StatisticsSelected distribution, sampling, regression and testing results.Choose a suitable model or test, use the data correctly and interpret the answer in context.

Quick check: before turning a page, say what result you are looking for and why it fits. After looking it up, return to the question and complete the method and interpretation.

The important limitation

MF27 does not choose the method for you

It can provide

  • A formula or standard result
  • A check on notation and coefficients
  • A quick reference during a long paper

You still provide

  • The correct topic and method
  • Conditions, substitutions and interpretation
  • Logical working and a contextual conclusion
  • Results and methods that are not printed

A common mistake is to treat the booklet as something to open only after getting stuck. A stronger habit is to know its layout before the exam, so consulting it is deliberate and fast.

Practice routine

How to train with MF27

  1. Locate.Before solving, identify whether a relevant result is in MF27 and where it sits.
  2. Interpret.State what each symbol represents and check whether the conditions match the question.
  3. Apply.Substitute carefully, show the mathematical steps and use the graphing calculator only where appropriate.
  4. Review.After marking, distinguish a formula recall error from a method-choice or execution error.
Good target: by prelims, a student should know whether to consult MF27, where to find the relevant result and what additional working the marker expects.

Revision checklist

Do this before a timed paper

  • Print or open a clean copy during practice.
  • Learn the page structure rather than memorising the visual position of one formula.
  • Compare every topic against syllabus 9758, not against MF27 alone.
  • Practise mixed questions where the required formula is not named.
  • Check current examination instructions rather than relying on assumptions about annotations or materials.

Use the official MF27 document

The official booklet is the source of truth. Sterling’s guide helps you navigate it and practise using it, but does not replace the official document or your syllabus.

MF27 FAQ

Common questions about the formula list

Where can I download the MF27 formula list PDF?

Use the official SEAB MF27 PDF link at the top of this page. It opens the eight-page List of Formulae and Results; the page-by-page viewer here is for quick browsing.

Is MF27 used for H2 Math (9758) in 2026?

Yes. SEAB lists the List of Formulae and Results (MF27) for H2 Mathematics (9758) in the 2026 A-Level syllabuses. Check the current SEAB syllabus page for the examination year you are sitting.

Is MF27 the same as the H2 Math syllabus?

No. MF27 is a shared formula booklet for several Mathematics syllabuses. It contains selected results, while your syllabus defines what you are expected to know and apply. Not every shared-booklet result necessarily applies to every subject.

Does MF27 contain every formula I need?

No. It contains selected formulae and results. You still need to know the topic, choose a method, meet the conditions, show clear working and interpret your answer.

What is the difference between MF26 and MF27?

MF27 is the List of Formulae and Results used from 2025 onwards. MF26 refers to the earlier list. Use the current SEAB booklet and syllabus for your examination year rather than relying on an older copy.

How should I practise with MF27?

Keep a clean copy beside timed practice. Try to identify the relevant result before looking it up, then record whether a mistake came from locating it, choosing the method, using the result or completing the working.
