I don't think there is any further mathematics reference books made exclusively for STPM, except for some books in Malay(I have one, by Fajar Bakti - STPM Matematik Lanjutan T). For the english version of FM, what I, a private candidate for the coming STPM, would buy a 'sukatan pelajaran' from the MPM, get to know what would be covered in FM, and then go search for references books(mostly by foreign book publisher) which cover best according to the sukatan.

If anyone knows of any FM references which are made exclusively for STPM, please let me know.

Yes, what Exec did is correct!

But if you would want to know about the Real Paper ,you could get teh Koleksi Kertas Soalan STPM 2005 Jurusan Sains.

There is a Pass Year paper on year 2005, plus this year they might add up the papers from 2006.

There is a syllabus change from Year 2003(if I am not mistaken) where the Number Theory, Graph Theory, Coordinate Geometry and the Transformation part came in. (The other part is Statistics(Sampling, χ2 Test(chi-squared test),Correlation and Regression, and Hypothesis Testing))

So, if you try out pass year paper of previous years, you might saw that the Coordinate Geometry part appears at FM P1, but it is still a good practice.

Just to ask something about you Exec,
Are you private candidate of the whole STPM or only for Further Mathematics only?
What about qfeng?

Yep, that's right, you could also actually borrow some Singapore A-Levels paper or tutorials from your friend at JC in Singapore as reference or practice.
Except that STPM FM does not have the Mechanics part, others are around the same.

Also do try out their past year questions, very challenging.
Every JC have different papers every year, so you could expect for many papers to try on then.

Totally agree with u all.
STPM FM does not have a specified book. So after u got the syllabus, just go to a book store that sells books for college students and university students, such as Tan Mark at Pulau Pinang ( that is where I got mine ).
I combined two books to get a complete edition of the syllabus.
so, good luck!! I have sold the books, but one of it I think is called
: Advanced statistic, which have a picture of a dice on the cover, black background, and quite bulky. Another one, I have really forgotten, just remember that it is orange in colour and in a smaller size, like an ordinary dictionary. sorry!!!
PS: this is just how I get my syllabus. Maybe there will be other better idea!! So, keep ur eyes opened!!

I've seen the past year papers. The format is exactly the same as the Math paper - 2 papers, 12 questions on each paper, and most of all, ANSWER ALL!!!!

No, the STPM FM has "Number Theory, Graph Theory, Geometry, and Transformation" instead of Mechanics at A-Level FM, so you couldn;t really compare them as their syllabuses are different.
