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 AS level exam, 3 semester hours in Precalculus and 2 semester hours in Descriptive Statistics & Basic Probability is recommended, for a total of 5 semester hours.
Description

Objective:

This exhibit and credit recommendations cover only the Pure Mathematics & Probability & Statistics the AS Level and A Level (Paper 1 + Paper 3 + Paper 5 + Paper 6), as well as AS Level (Paper 1 + Paper 5). This is noted on the examination transcript as Mathematics (Pure, Probability & Statistics). Paper 1 and Paper 3 are each allowed 1 hour and 50 minutes for completion; Papers 5 & 6 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.






At the A Level, students take an additional two Papers, depending on their area of emphasis. Each of the two additional Papers is allowed 1 hour and 15 minutes for completion.

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 & Probability & Statistics the AS Level and A 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 5, skills/outcomes include representation and data; permutations and combinations; probability; discrete random variables; and normal distribution. For Paper 6, skills/outcomes includes the Poisson distribution; linear combinations of random variables; continuous random variables; sampling and estimation; and hypothesis tests.
