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: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of places, environments, concepts, processes, interactions and change, at a variety of scales. (34%)
AO2: AO2: Apply knowledge and understanding in different contexts to analyse, interpret and evaluate geographical information and issues. (40%)
AO3: AO3: Use a variety of relevant quantitative, qualitative and fieldwork skills to: investigate geographical questions and issues, interpret, analyse and evaluate data and resources, and construct substantiated judgements. (26%)
根據歷屆試題與評分準則整理（2022–2024）。
計算機程式
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.
使用時機: Checking solutions, sketching, or solving where an analytic method is hard.
步驟
Graph the function(s) and use the built-in zero, intersect and maximum/minimum tools.
考試提示: 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.
使用時機: Iterative or implicit equations, or to confirm an algebraic solution.
步驟
Use the equation/zero solver, entering the equation and a sensible starting estimate.
考試提示: 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.
使用時機: Checking calculus answers, or where only a numerical value is needed.
步驟
Use the GDC's numeric integral / derivative function with the limits or the point.
考試提示: 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.
使用時機: Statistics questions and hypothesis tests.
步驟
Enter data in the statistics editor, or use the distribution menu (binomial cdf, normal cdf, …).
考試提示: 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.
常見錯誤
1high涉及分數: 2Tectonic Processes and Hazards
Failing to write down the complete formula and intermediate working steps when calculating the Spearman's Rank correlation coefficient, leading to a loss of simple working marks.
如何避免: Write out the complete formula, substitution steps, and sum of differences (\(\sum d^2\)) explicitly in the answer spaces provided. Never write only the final numeric answer.
2medium涉及分數: 8The Carbon Cycle and Energy Security
Confusing the biological fast-carbon-pump processes in the ocean (such as photosynthesis by phytoplankton and marine biota) with slow-geological-pump chemical and physical storage cycles.
如何避免: Distinguish between the biological pump (photosynthesis, organic decay, and biological marine sinking of organic carbon) and geological processes like chemical weathering, deep ocean sedimentation, and metamorphic outgassing.
3high涉及分數: 8Players
Underutilizing visual stimulus and specific numerical evidence from the Resource Booklets in Paper 3 (Synoptic Investigation) analysis questions, which caps answers at lower grade boundaries.
如何避免: Exhaustively analyze all booklet resources, explicitly cross-reference specific data points (e.g. GDP, HDI ranking, net migration rates, and forest cover statistics), and integrate them with synoptic knowledge.
4medium涉及分數: 1Health, Human Rights and Intervention
Incorrect statistical rounding, such as rounding Spearman's Rank coefficients to one decimal place instead of exactly two decimal places as explicitly requested in the prompt.
如何避免: Always check the formatting instructions of calculation questions. If the prompt specifies two decimal places, write your answer as such (e.g., 0.57 or 0.63).
5high涉及分數: 20Coastal Landscapes and Change
Providing descriptive case study reports rather than evaluative essay answers structured around clear success criteria in 20-mark evaluation questions.
如何避免: Structure your essay with comparative thematic paragraphs that analyze different viewpoints (e.g., hard vs. soft management, short-term vs. long-term consequences) and explicitly weigh them against success criteria before making a final judgment.
