Credit is recommended for examinees scoring "E" or above. This exhibit is recommended for a total of 9 semester hours in the lower division for both the AS and A level exams. For examinees completing only the Pure Mathematics & Mechanics AS level exam, 3 semester hours in Precalculus, 1 semester hours in Elementary Calculus and 1 semester hour in Application in Mechanics is recommended, for a total of 5 semester hours.
Description

Objective:

This exhibit and credit recommendations cover only the Pure Mathematics, Mechanics, Probability & Statistics A & AS Level (Paper 1 + Paper 3 + Paper 4 + Paper 5), as well as and Pure Mathematics & Mechanics at the AS Level (Paper 1 + Paper 4). This is noted on the examination transcript as Mathematics (Pure, Mechanics, Probability & Statistics). Paper 1 and Paper 3 are each allowed 1 hour and 50 minutes for completion; Papers 4 & 5 are each allowed 1 hour and 15 minutes for completion.
Candidates take two Papers at the AS Level, and an additional two Papers at the A Level. Marks from the AS Level Papers are combined with the Marks from the A Level Papers to comprise the final A Level grade.

Skills Measured:

This exhibit and skills measured covers only the Pure Mathematics, Mechanics, Probability & Statistics A & AS Level, as well as and Pure Mathematics & Mechanics at the AS Level.

The Assessment Objectives are 1) Demonstrate mathematical knowledge and understanding of relevant mathematical concepts, terminology and notation and accurately recalling and using the appropriate mathematical manipulative techniques; and 2) Apply and communicate by recognizing the appropriate mathematical procedure for a given situation, applying appropriate combinations of mathematical skills and techniques in solving problems, and presenting relevant mathematical work, and communicate corresponding conclusions, in a clear and logical way.

These assessment objectives are measured across all possible Paper combinations. Skills/outcomes for Paper 1 include quadratics; functions; coordinate geometry; circular measure; trigonometry; series; differentiation; and integration. For Paper 3, skills/outcomes include algebra; logarithmic and exponential functions; trigonometry; differentiation; integration; numerical solution of equations; vectors, differential equations; and complex numbers. For Paper 4, skills/outcomes include forces and equilibrium; kinematics of motion in a straight line; momentum; Newton’s laws of motion; and energy, work, and power. For Paper 5, skills/outcomes include representation and data; permutations and combinations; probability; discrete random variables; and normal distribution.
