Course

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.
