G.C.E. O/L Maths Past Papers Download (සාමාන්ය පෙළ ගණිතය පසුගිය ප්රශ්න පත්ර)
Sri Lankan students preparing for the G.C.E. Ordinary Level (O/L) examination often find Mathematics to be one of the most challenging subjects. However, the secret to scoring an 'A' grade lies in consistent practice with O/L Maths past papers. At NoteLK, we provide a comprehensive collection of past papers from the last 10 years, including the latest 2023 (2024) and 2024 (2025) papers in Sinhala, English, and Tamil mediums.
Syllabus Coverage: What You Need to Master
The O/L Mathematics syllabus is divided into several key areas that appear consistently in Paper I and Paper II. Mastering these topics is essential for exam success:
- 01. Arithmetic: Percentages (ප්රතිශත), Share Market (කොටස් වෙළඳපොළ), and Compound Interest.
- 02. Algebra: Indices and Logarithms (දර්ශක හා ලඝුගණක), Quadratic Equations, and Algebraic Fractions.
- 03. Geometry: Mid-point Theorem, Cyclic Quadrilaterals, and Circle Theorems (වෘත්ත ප්රමේයයන්).
- 04. Statistics & Probability: Data representation, Mean/Median/Mode, and Probability (සම්භාවිතාව).
Practice with actual exam papers helps you identify which of these areas you are weak in, allowing you to focus your revision effectively.
Exam Importance: Why Past Papers Matter
The Department of Examinations Sri Lanka follows a specific pattern. By solving OL Maths past papers, you:
Understand the Structure: Familiarize yourself with the 2-hour Paper I and the 3-hour Paper II.
Time Management: Learn how to allocate 2 minutes per MCQ and 10-15 minutes per long question.
Identify Repeats: Certain themes, like Construction (නිර්මාණ) appear every single year.
How to Use These Papers for Maximum Results
