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

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: 2Amount of substance
Failing to scale titration mole calculations from the 25.0 cm³ pipette aliquot up to the 250.0 cm³ original volumetric flask.
如何避免: Always calculate the scaling factor (250.0 / 25.0 = 10) and multiply the calculated moles in 25.0 cm³ by 10 before converting to mass.
2high涉及分數: 1Amount of substance
Early rounding of intermediate values during multi-step mole calculations.
如何避免: Keep the unrounded values in your calculator's memory registers and only round your final answer to 3 significant figures at the very last step.
3high涉及分數: 2Amount of substance
Using Celsius instead of Kelvin, or cm³ instead of m³, in the ideal gas equation (pV = nRT).
如何避免: Always add 273 to temperature in Celsius, convert cm³ to m³ by multiplying by 10^-6, and pressure in kPa to Pa by multiplying by 10^3.
4high涉及分數: 2Alkenes
Incorrect curly arrow placement in electrophilic addition mechanisms, drawing them from atoms or charges instead of bonds.
如何避免: Ensure that curly arrows start directly from the double carbon-carbon bond or from a defined lone pair of electrons, pointing towards the target electrophilic atom.
5high涉及分數: 1Alkanes
Omitting the radical dot on reaction propagation intermediates.
如何避免: Place the radical dot directly next to the specific atom carrying the unpaired electron, for example, on the carbon atom in ethyl radicals (e.g. C2H5•).
6medium涉及分數: 1Analytical techniques
Failing to add a positive charge to fragments in mass spectrometry structure elucidation.
如何避免: All detected mass spectrometry fragments must be drawn with a positive sign (e.g., CH3CO+ or CH3+), as uncharged species are invisible to the detector.
7high涉及分數: 1Enthalpy changes
Substituting fuel mass instead of water mass into q = mcΔT.
如何避免: Remember that 'm' is the mass of the surroundings being heated (typically the water in the beaker, such as 200g), not the mass of the spirit burner's fuel.
8medium涉及分數: 1Enthalpy changes
Failing to write down the positive or negative sign for calculated standard enthalpy changes.
如何避免: Always check whether a reaction is exothermic (write a negative sign, e.g. -155 kJ/mol) or endothermic (write a positive sign, e.g. +110 kJ/mol).
9medium涉及分數: 2Alcohols
Drawing a closed distillation system or running water into the condenser from top to bottom.
如何避免: Distillation systems must have an open exit so gas pressure doesn't build up. Cooling water must enter the lower condenser nozzle (bottom) and exit the higher nozzle (top).
10medium涉及分數: 1Chemical equilibrium
Believing a catalyst changes the position of equilibrium or increases the theoretical yield of products.
如何避免: State that a catalyst increases the rate of both forward and reverse reactions equally, reducing the time to reach equilibrium without shifting its position.
