PAPER 1 (3 hours)

A paper consisting of 10 to 12 questions of different lengths and marks based on the Pure Mathematics section of the syllabus.

There will be one question on application of Mathematics in real-world contexts, including those from sciences and engineering.

*This question will carry at least 12 marks and may require concepts and skills from more than one topic.

Candidates will be expected to answer all questions.

A paper consisting of two sections, Sections A and B.

Section A (Pure Mathematics – 40 marks) will consist of 4 to 5 questions of different lengths and marks based on the Pure Mathematics section of the syllabus.

Section B (Probability and Statistics – 60 marks) will consist of 6 to 8 questions of different lengths and marks based on the Probability and Statistics section of the syllabus.

There will be one question in Section B on application of Mathematics in real-world contexts, including those from sciences and engineering.
*This question will carry at least 12 marks and may require concepts and skills from more than one topic.

Candidates will be expected to answer all questions.
