Incorrect polar coordinate integration limits, assuming they always span from -pi to pi or 0 to 2*pi without analyzing domain restrictions where r^2 is positive.

Always find where r = 0 and sketch the curve first. Only integrate over the intervals of theta where r is real and defined.

Failing to relate normal vectors to the sine of the angle between lines and planes, incorrectly defaulting to the cosine formula.

Remember that the dot product of the line's direction vector and the plane's normal vector gives sin(theta), not cos(theta). If using cosine, subtract the resulting angle from 90 degrees.

Under-developing mathematical induction proofs by leaving out the base case verification details or omitting the final inductive summary statement.

Explicitly write out LHS and RHS evaluation for the base case (usually n=1) and end with the standardized inductive conclusion statement.

Losing track of negative signs when differentiating and integrating hyperbolic trigonometric functions (e.g. thinking d/dx(cosh x) is -sinh x).

Verify using the formula booklet or convert to exponential forms if unsure. Remember: d/dx(cosh x) = +sinh x and d/dx(sinh x) = +cosh x.

Losing track of multiple physical constants (mass m, damping R, stiffness k) during algebraic manipulations in second-order differential equations.

Keep terms bracketed clearly, use substitutions if necessary, and meticulously trace dimensions to ensure no constants are dropped.

计算器规定

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: Use and apply standard techniques (50%)
AO2: AO2: Reason, interpret and communicate mathematically (30%)
AO3: AO3: Solve problems within mathematics and in other contexts (20%)

根据历届试题与评分标准整理（2022–2023）。

计算器程序

Graph: zeros, intersections & turning points

Graphical calculator / GDC (exam mode)

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

使用时机: Checking solutions, sketching, or solving where an analytic method is hard.

步骤

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

考试提示: 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)

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

使用时机: Iterative or implicit equations, or to confirm an algebraic solution.

步骤

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

Numerical integration & differentiation

Graphical calculator / GDC (exam mode)

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

使用时机: Checking calculus answers, or where only a numerical value is needed.

步骤

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

Statistics & probability distributions

Graphical calculator / GDC (exam mode)

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

使用时机: Statistics questions and hypothesis tests.

步骤

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