计算器规定
A silent scientific calculator may be used on papers where calculators are permitted (some papers are non-calculator). It must not be graphical or programmable and must hold no stored information.
AO1: AO1 Knowledge and understanding (30%)
AO2: AO2 Application (30%)
AO3: AO3 Analysis (25%)
AO4: AO4 Evaluation (15%)

计算器程序
Table mode for roots & turning points
Scientific calculator (e.g. Casio fx-991 series)
用途: Tabulate \(y\) across a range of \(x\) to locate sign changes (roots) and approximate maxima/minima.
使用时机: Solving or sketching a function when you want to find where its graph crosses or turns.
步骤
Enter the function in TABLE mode, set the start, end and step, then read where the sign of \(y\) changes or where it peaks.
考试提示: Allowed on papers where a calculator is permitted; use a silent scientific calculator with no stored content and show your method.
Statistics mode (mean, SD & regression)
Scientific calculator (e.g. Casio fx-991 series)
用途: Read the mean \(\bar{x}\) and standard deviation directly, and the gradient/intercept (and \(r\)) of a linear regression for bivariate data.
使用时机: Any data-handling, statistics, or required-practical analysis question.
步骤
Enter the data in STAT mode (1-VAR or A+BX), then recall \(\bar{x}\), \(\sigma\) or the regression coefficients.
考试提示: Allowed on papers where a calculator is permitted; use a silent scientific calculator with no stored content and show your method.
Carry exact values with Ans & memory
Scientific calculator (e.g. Casio fx-991 series)
用途: Keep full-precision intermediate values to avoid rounding errors.
使用时机: Multi-step calculations where premature rounding loses the final accuracy mark.
步骤
Use Ans, STO/RCL or the M+ memory to reuse the unrounded result of each step; round only the final answer.
考试提示: Allowed on papers where a calculator is permitted; use a silent scientific calculator with no stored content and show your method.
Equation solver — to CHECK your working
Scientific calculator (e.g. Casio fx-991 series)
用途: Use the built-in EQN/SOLVE mode to verify roots of quadratics or simultaneous equations you have already solved by algebra.
使用时机: As a check only, after solving by hand.
步骤
Enter the coefficients in EQN mode (or use SOLVE) and confirm they match your worked solution.
考试提示: Allowed on papers where a calculator is permitted; use a silent scientific calculator with no stored content and show your method.
常见错误
1high涉及分数: 2Provision of customer service for different types of tourists
Confusing customer 'services' with physical 'facilities' (e.g., identifying beach items like 'sunbeds' instead of 'sunbed rental service').
如何避免: Always describe a service as an active operation, commercial process, or transaction (e.g., 'uniformed transfer services' or 'kayak rental facilities' rather than just 'kayaks').
2medium涉及分数: 1The scale of travel and tourism
Defining 'GDP' incorrectly as 'Gross Domestic Profit' instead of 'Gross Domestic Product' or confusing it with net profit.
如何避免: Memorize the exact definition of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as a value of national output, not profit.
3high涉及分数: 2Marketing mix
Believing that online promotion via social media is completely free of charge to tourism organizations.
如何避免: Explain that although basic profile creation is free, effective marketing incurs costs for paid ad targeting, professional graphic designers, sponsored campaign boosts, and community management staff.
4high涉及分数: 2Economic, environmental and sociocultural impacts of travel and tourism
Writing 'mirror statements' to generate multiple marks (e.g., 'more flights bring more tourists' and 'fewer flights bring fewer tourists').
如何避免: Ensure that every point in a multi-part or explanation response represents a completely distinct impact. Examiners will only award credit to one side of a mirror statement.
5medium涉及分数: 4Market research and analysis
Confusing PEST/PESTLE external analysis with internal SWOT analysis elements when evaluating destination situations.
如何避免: Remember that PEST is strictly external (Political, Economic, Socio-cultural, Technological) whereas SWOT focuses on the internal strengths and weaknesses of the business itself.
6high涉及分数: 3Marketing mix
Failing to write a final, balanced recommendation or conclusion in the 6-mark (Paper 1) and 9-mark (Paper 2) evaluative essay questions.
如何避免: Always structure high-tariff questions with arguments for, arguments against, and a final paragraph with a clear, reasoned recommendation that justifies your final professional view in context.
