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: AO1: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of scientific ideas, processes, techniques and procedures. (32%)
AO2: AO2: Apply knowledge and understanding of scientific ideas, processes, techniques and procedures. (42%)
AO3: 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
1high影響する配点: 3Energetics II (Paper 1)
Failing to convert units when using the Gibbs Free Energy equation, mixing up kJ from enthalpy with J from entropy.
回避方法: Always divide your entropy value (\( \Delta S \)) by 1000 to convert from J to kJ before substituting it into \( \Delta G = \Delta H - T\Delta S \).
2high影響する配点: 4Formulae, Equations and Amounts of Substance (Paper 2)
Failing to convert volume to cubic meters (\( \text{m}^3 \)) or pressure to Pascals (\( \text{Pa} \)) in the ideal gas equation.
回避方法: Multiply kPa by 1000 to get Pa, and multiply \( \text{dm}^3 \) by \( 10^{-3} \) (or \( \text{cm}^3 \) by \( 10^{-6} \)) to get \( \text{m}^3 \).
3high影響する配点: 2Organic Chemistry I
Drawing curly arrows that originate from incorrect locations or do not point directly to the targeted atom.
回避方法: Ensure all curly arrows start precisely from a localized lone pair or from the center of a covalent bond, pointing directly to the receiving atom.
4medium影響する配点: 1Acid-base Equilibria
Using round brackets instead of square brackets for concentrations in equilibrium constant expressions like \( K_c \) or \( K_a \).
回避方法: Strictly use square brackets \( [\dots] \) to represent equilibrium concentration. Round brackets will result in zero marks for the expression.
5high影響する配点: 2Formulae, Equations and Amounts of Substance (Paper 1)
Premature rounding of intermediate values during multi-step titration calculations, causing final answers to fall out of acceptable range.
回避方法: Store unrounded intermediate values in your calculator's memory (using the STO/RCL buttons) and only round to the appropriate significant figures at the very end.
6medium影響する配点: 2Transition Metals
Attributing the color of transition metal complexes to emission of light when excited electrons return to the ground state.
回避方法: State that color arises because d-orbitals split; electrons absorb specific frequencies of visible light to get promoted (d-d transitions), and we see the remaining complementary transmitted light.
