MORE CHANGES:
  • The teaching time has not changed
  • The Details of the assessment section includes:
    • The lists of formulas that are provided in the Papers 1 to 4 examinations
    • Mathematical conventions
  • The marks and durations for Papers 1 and 3 (Core) and for Papers 2 and 4 (Extended) have changed so they are the same for the calculator and non-calculator papers in each tier
  • The marks, durations and weightings are the same for both papers in a tier
  • Examination Papers 1 to 4 will:
    • Include a mixture of short, structured and unstructured questions
    • Have questions that are the same standard as in the existing assessment
    • Still include a list of formulas on page 2 but the basic Core formulas have been included in the Extended list of formulas
