ข้อกำหนดเครื่องคิดเลข
A silent scientific calculator is required where the syllabus permits one. It must NOT be graphical, programmable, or capable of symbolic algebra (CAS), and it must contain no stored programs or notes.
AO1: Knowledge with understanding (42%)
AO2: Handling, applying and evaluating information (35%)
วัตถุประสงค์: Tabulate \(y\) across a range of \(x\) to locate sign changes (roots) and approximate maxima/minima.
ใช้เมื่อใด: Solving or sketching a function when you want to find where its graph crosses or turns.
ขั้นตอน
Enter the function in TABLE mode, set the start, end and step, then read where the sign of \(y\) changes or where it peaks.
ข้อควรระวังในการสอบ: Allowed, but the calculator must be silent, non-graphical, non-programmable and free of stored content; always show the working the mark scheme requires.
Statistics mode (mean, SD & regression)
Scientific calculator (e.g. Casio fx-991 series)
วัตถุประสงค์: Read the mean \(\bar{x}\) and standard deviation directly, and the gradient/intercept (and \(r\)) of a linear regression for bivariate data.
ใช้เมื่อใด: Any data-handling, statistics, or required-practical analysis question.
ขั้นตอน
Enter the data in STAT mode (1-VAR or A+BX), then recall \(\bar{x}\), \(\sigma\) or the regression coefficients.
ข้อควรระวังในการสอบ: Allowed, but the calculator must be silent, non-graphical, non-programmable and free of stored content; always show the working the mark scheme requires.
Carry exact values with Ans & memory
Scientific calculator (e.g. Casio fx-991 series)
วัตถุประสงค์: Keep full-precision intermediate values to avoid rounding errors.
ใช้เมื่อใด: Multi-step calculations where premature rounding loses the final accuracy mark.
ขั้นตอน
Use Ans, STO/RCL or the M+ memory to reuse the unrounded result of each step; round only the final answer.
ข้อควรระวังในการสอบ: Allowed, but the calculator must be silent, non-graphical, non-programmable and free of stored content; always show the working the mark scheme requires.
Equation solver — to CHECK your working
Scientific calculator (e.g. Casio fx-991 series)
วัตถุประสงค์: Use the built-in EQN/SOLVE mode to verify roots of quadratics or simultaneous equations you have already solved by algebra.
ใช้เมื่อใด: As a check only, after solving by hand.
ขั้นตอน
Enter the coefficients in EQN mode (or use SOLVE) and confirm they match your worked solution.
ข้อควรระวังในการสอบ: Allowed, but the calculator must be silent, non-graphical, non-programmable and free of stored content; always show the working the mark scheme requires.
Failing to state 'per mole of water formed' when defining the standard enthalpy change of neutralisation.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: Always specify that the energy change is associated with the formation of exactly one mole of water from the neutralisation reaction of an acid and alkali under standard conditions.
Using the mass of solid solute instead of the total solution mass (i.e. volume converted to grams) in the thermal heat capacity calculation q = mcΔT.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: Identify the aqueous solution volume as the source of the mass (m) in the equation. For example, if adding solid to 25.0 cm³ of water/acid, use 25.0g as 'm', not the solid's mass.
3mediumคะแนนที่เกี่ยวข้อง: 1Ionisation energy (Atomic structure)
Omitting the gas state symbol '(g)' when defining or constructing balanced equations representing successive ionisation processes.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: Always write the gaseous state symbol for both the reactant and product species in ionisation energy equations (e.g. X(g) -> X+(g) + e-).
4highคะแนนที่เกี่ยวข้อง: 1Reacting masses and volumes (of solutions and gases) (Atoms, molecules and stoichiometry)
Recording burette readings to only 1 decimal place instead of the required 2 decimal places (ending in .00 or .05) in titration files.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: Ensure every single initial and final burette reading in your results table ends in .00 or .05 (e.g., 22.10 cm³ or 22.15 cm³).
5mediumคะแนนที่เกี่ยวข้อง: 1Reacting masses and volumes (of solutions and gases) (Atoms, molecules and stoichiometry)
Failing to double the single reading uncertainty when calculating the percentage error for thermometers or mass balance measurements.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: Because mass-by-difference and temperature-change calculations involve two separate readings, multiply the maximum error of the apparatus by 2 before dividing by the experimental value.
6highคะแนนที่เกี่ยวข้อง: 2Characteristic organic reactions (An introduction to AS Level organic chemistry)
Starting curly arrows in organic mechanisms from carbon nuclei or empty spaces instead of bonds or lone pairs.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: Position the start of your curly arrow precisely on a lone pair of electrons (e.g., on a nucleophile) or on the center of a bond (like a double bond or carbon-halogen bond) and end it precisely on the target atom.
Omitting explicit positive (+) or negative (-) signs from final calculated values of enthalpy changes.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: Always state the explicit mathematical sign for any thermodynamic value. For example, write -57.3 kJ/mol for an exothermic process, not just 57.3.
