電卓の規定

A scientific or graphical calculator that meets JCQ regulations may be used (some GCSE Mathematics and Science papers are non-calculator). Graphical calculators must be set to exam mode; you must clear any stored programs, notes or data before the exam, and the calculator must not be able to retrieve stored text or formulae.

  • AO1: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of scientific ideas, processes, techniques and procedures. (32%)
  • AO2: Apply knowledge and understanding of scientific ideas, processes, techniques and procedures. (42%)
  • AO3: Analyse, interpret and evaluate scientific information, ideas and evidence. (26%)

電卓プログラム

Graph: zeros, intersections & turning points

Graphical calculator / GDC (exam mode)

目的: Plot a function to read its roots (zeros), points of intersection, and maxima/minima.

使う場面: Checking solutions, sketching, or solving where an analytic method is hard.

手順
Graph the function(s) and use the built-in zero, intersect and maximum/minimum tools.

試験での注意: Allowed under JCQ rules, but you must still show your method — an unsupported calculator answer earns no method marks. Clear all stored programs, notes and data (graphical calculators in exam mode) before the exam.

Numerical equation solver

Graphical calculator / GDC (exam mode)

目的: Solve an equation or find a variable numerically when an algebraic route is long or implicit.

使う場面: Iterative or implicit equations, or to confirm an algebraic solution.

手順
Use the equation/zero solver, entering the equation and a sensible starting estimate.

試験での注意: Allowed under JCQ rules, but you must still show your method — an unsupported calculator answer earns no method marks. Clear all stored programs, notes and data (graphical calculators in exam mode) before the exam.

Numerical integration & differentiation

Graphical calculator / GDC (exam mode)

目的: Evaluate a definite integral \(\int_a^b f(x)\,dx\) or a gradient \(f'(x)\) at a point.

使う場面: Checking calculus answers, or where only a numerical value is needed.

手順
Use the GDC's numeric integral / derivative function with the limits or the point.

試験での注意: Allowed under JCQ rules, but you must still show your method — an unsupported calculator answer earns no method marks. Clear all stored programs, notes and data (graphical calculators in exam mode) before the exam.

Statistics & probability distributions

Graphical calculator / GDC (exam mode)

目的: 1-var/2-var statistics, linear regression, and cumulative binomial / normal / Poisson probabilities without tables.

使う場面: Statistics questions and hypothesis tests.

手順
Enter data in the statistics editor, or use the distribution menu (binomial cdf, normal cdf, …).

試験での注意: Allowed under JCQ rules, but you must still show your method — an unsupported calculator answer earns no method marks. Clear all stored programs, notes and data (graphical calculators in exam mode) before the exam.

よくあるミス

  1. 1high影響する配点: 2Limitation of physical measurements

    Selecting small coordinate gradient triangles (less than 50% of the grid size) for graphical analysis in Paper 3.

    回避方法: Always construct your gradient calculation triangle to cover more than 50% of the line of best fit on both axes.
  2. 2medium影響する配点: 1Radioactivity

    Omitting the '+' sign between products in nuclear decay and reaction equations (e.g., separating the daughter nucleus and the alpha particle).

    回避方法: Clearly write nuclear equations using standard notation, ensuring products are explicitly separated with a '+' sign.
  3. 3high影響する配点: 2Force, energy and momentum

    Directly multiplying force by parallel distance in moments calculations instead of identifying and resolving the perpendicular distance.

    回避方法: Identify the hinge/pivot point, trace the line of action of the force, and resolve the perpendicular component of distance or force.
  4. 4medium影響する配点: 2Force, energy and momentum

    Forgetting to include the weight of a uniform rigid beam acting at its midpoint in equilibrium moments equations.

    回避方法: Always draw a free-body diagram representing the beam's weight acting downwards at the exact geometric center before taking moments.
  5. 5high影響する配点: 2Thermal physics

    Using temperatures in Celsius instead of Kelvin in gas laws or thermal equations.

    回避方法: Convert Celsius temperatures to Kelvin immediately by adding 273.15 before performing any calculations.
  6. 6medium影響する配点: 1Limitation of physical measurements

    Plotting graphs with feathered, sketchy, or double lines.

    回避方法: Use a sharp pencil and draw a single, clean, continuous line of best fit directly through the plotted data.
  7. 7high影響する配点: 2Limitation of physical measurements

    Failing to convert metric prefixes (e.g., mm, mV, microseconds) to standard SI units when evaluating experimental intercepts or gradients.

    回避方法: Read the axis scale labels carefully and convert standard prefixes (e.g., milli = 10^-3) before evaluating calculation constants.
  8. 8high影響する配点: 1Limitation of physical measurements

    Rounding intermediate calculation values too early, which pushes the final answer outside of the acceptable range.

    回避方法: Keep unrounded values stored in the calculator's memory and perform rounding only on your final output step.
  9. 9medium影響する配点: 2Progressive and stationary waves

    Attempting to use the wave equation (v = f * lambda) to determine the speed of sound in a rod instead of calculating the pulse travel time and distance.

    回避方法: Differentiate between propagating wave pulse speed (v = d/t) and continuous standing wave calculations before selecting your formulas.
  10. 10medium影響する配点: 2Limitation of physical measurements

    Confusing percentage uncertainty with absolute uncertainty when calculating or drawing error bars.

    回避方法: Absolute uncertainty is represented by physical dimensions on graph grids, whereas percentage uncertainty is absolute uncertainty divided by the value, multiplied by 100.
