Converting cubic millimeters to cubic meters by dividing by 10^3 (or multiplying by 10^-3) instead of dividing by 10^9 (multiplying by 10^-9).

Convert each dimension of the unit: since 1 mm = 10^-3 m, (1 mm)^3 = (10^-3 m)^3 = 10^-9 m^3. Apply this full scale factor for conversions.

Failing to account for the internal resistance of a battery when explaining potential divider outputs under a load.

Always calculate the total circuit resistance first, including the internal resistance (r). The terminal potential difference is given by V = E - Ir, which decreases as current increases.

Drawing wavefronts passing through a converging lens with straight lines or incorrect curvature directions.

Ensure wavefronts emerging from a converging lens curve inwards toward the principal focus, maintaining perpendicularity to converging rays by eye.

Truncating numbers prematurely during multi-step calculations, leading to rounding errors in final values like photon numbers.

Store full unrounded values in your calculator's memory registers during intermediate steps. Round only your final answer to the correct number of significant figures.

Using the wire diameter directly in the area formula A = pi * r^2 instead of dividing by 2 to find the radius.

Always calculate radius as diameter / 2 before squaring, or use the alternative area formula: A = (pi * d^2) / 4.

Failing to write down the intermediate unrounded calculated value in 'show that' questions before presenting the final rounded target.

Explicitly write the raw calculator value to 3 or 4 significant figures first, then write a final line: 'approx. equal to [target value]'.

Writing lowercase coordinates (e.g., c2) or omitting the '*' operator when constructing requested spreadsheet computational formulas.

Always use uppercase letters for cell names and explicit operators, e.g., `=C2+(B2*0.10)` to avoid syntax mark deductions.

Drawing gradient triangles or tangents that are too small (covering less than half of the plotted range of the graph data).

Ensure that your gradient triangle spans at least 50% of the horizontal or vertical axis grid length to secure full precision marks.

ข้อกำหนดเครื่องคิดเลข

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. (35%)
AO2: Apply knowledge and understanding of scientific ideas, processes, techniques and procedures. (40%)
AO3: Analyse, interpret and evaluate scientific information, ideas and evidence, make judgements and reach conclusions. (25%)

โปรแกรมเครื่องคิดเลข

Graph: zeros, intersections & turning points

Graphical calculator / GDC (exam mode)

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

ใช้เมื่อใด: Checking solutions, sketching, or solving where an analytic method is hard.

ขั้นตอน

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

ข้อควรระวังในการสอบ: 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)

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

ใช้เมื่อใด: Iterative or implicit equations, or to confirm an algebraic solution.

ขั้นตอน

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

Numerical integration & differentiation

Graphical calculator / GDC (exam mode)

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

ใช้เมื่อใด: Checking calculus answers, or where only a numerical value is needed.

ขั้นตอน

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

Statistics & probability distributions

Graphical calculator / GDC (exam mode)

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

ใช้เมื่อใด: Statistics questions and hypothesis tests.

ขั้นตอน

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