If you are looking for MF26, use MF27 for current Singapore-Cambridge A-Level Mathematics preparation.
MF27 replaced the older MF26 formula booklet from the 2025 examination cycle. For most H2 Mathematics students, this is not a reason to relearn an entirely different reference booklet: much of the practical content remains familiar.
The important task is to use the current booklet, recognise the small differences and know which results it does not provide.
MF27 replaced MF26 for Singapore-Cambridge A-Level Mathematics examinations from 2025.
For most H2 Math students, the practical transition is small; use the current booklet rather than relearning the formula list from scratch.
The older trigonometric factor formula is not supplied in MF27.
Keep MF27 beside you during practice and mark which results are supplied and which must be remembered or derived.
Use an annotated copy for revision only; the examination provides a separate clean copy.
Is MF26 Still Used?
No. SEAB lists MF27 as the current List of Formulae and Results for H1 Mathematics (8865), H2 Mathematics (9758) and H2 Further Mathematics (9649). A clean copy is provided for the relevant examination; students should not prepare with MF26 simply because an older school file or website still uses that name.

What Changed From MF26 to MF27?
The practical difference is limited for most H2 Math revision. One change students should notice is that the older trigonometric factor formula is not carried into MF27. Do not assume that a familiar result appears in the new booklet simply because it appeared in MF26.
For the exact current contents, use the official MF27 PDF rather than relying on a remembered comparison or an old printed copy. The main MF27 page lets students inspect all eight pages and download the current booklet.
How Our Tutors Recommend Using MF27
Keep MF27 beside you whenever you practise H2 Math questions. Each time you need a result:
- Decide whether you know the method independently.
- Check whether the formula is actually supplied in MF27.
- Record any result you expected to find but did not.
- Add a short note to your personal revision copy.
- Reattempt the question without opening full notes.
A scribbled, annotated revision copy is useful because it exposes the difference between what is given and what must be known. You cannot bring that personal annotated copy into the examination; the examination copy is supplied separately.
Use the Full MF27 Guide for Missing Formulas
This page is intentionally a short transition notice. We maintain the detailed explanations in two current resources instead of duplicating a list that may become inconsistent:
The walkthrough goes through the booklet page by page, explains what each result means and identifies important methods or formulas students still need to know.
Conclusion
MF27 is the current booklet. The transition from MF26 is small for most H2 Math students, but students should use the correct version and notice results—such as the older trigonometric factor formula—that are no longer supplied.
