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: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of scientific ideas, processes, techniques and procedures (35%)
AO2: Apply knowledge and understanding of scientific ideas, processes, techniques and procedures (42%)
AO3: Analyse, interpret and evaluate scientific information, ideas and evidence (23%)

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.
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 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.
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.
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, …).
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.
常见错误
1high涉及分数: 4Working as a Physicist (Practical Skills)
Choosing a gradient triangle that is too small when calculating spring constants, Young's modulus, or acceleration from graphs.
如何避免: Select a large gradient triangle that covers at least 50% of the grid range on both axes to minimize graphical read errors.
2high涉及分数: 3Working as a Physicist (Practical Skills)
Forgetting to double the percentage uncertainty of diameter when assessing its contribution to the area's overall uncertainty.
如何避免: Since area depends on diameter squared (A = pi * d^2 / 4), the percentage uncertainty in diameter must be multiplied by two.
3medium涉及分数: 3Waves and Particle Nature of Light
Neglecting the factor of two in pulse-echo calculations where waves must travel to the target and back.
如何避免: Always divide the calculated distance by 2, or halve the travel time, to find the true one-way distance to the object.
4high涉及分数: 3Digging up the Past (Mechanics)
Identifying the slope component of weight as W cos(theta) instead of W sin(theta).
如何避免: The component of gravitational force acting parallel to a slope of angle theta to the horizontal is always W sin(theta).
5medium涉及分数: 2Working as a Physicist (General Theory)
Omission of intermediate formula substitution steps in 'show that' questions.
如何避免: State the algebraic equation first, then show the numerical substitution explicitly, and finally write the answer to more significant figures than the target.
6high涉及分数: 4Materials
Substituting diameter instead of radius (or vice versa) in wire cross-sectional area calculations.
如何避免: Always check if your measurement from a micrometer is diameter (d) and apply A = pi * d^2 / 4 or calculate radius r = d/2 and apply A = pi * r^2.
7medium涉及分数: 3Spare-part Surgery (Electricity)
Assuming potential difference across components in parallel behaves like series divisions.
如何避免: PD across parallel branches is equal. Adding more identical parallel resistors does not split PD further; it reduces the total parallel resistance.
