Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Core Mathematics covers a narrower range of content and caps the highest available grade, making it suited to students who need a solid foundation without the most advanced topics. Extended Mathematics covers the full syllabus, including more advanced algebra, trigonometry, and statistics, and allows access to the highest grades. Students sitting Extended take Paper 2 and Paper 4, while Core candidates take Paper 1 and Paper 3.

Extended Mathematics candidates sit two papers: Paper 2 and Paper 4, both consisting of structured questions and both contributing to the final grade. These papers test the full range of topics, from Number and Algebra through to Probability and Statistics, with longer multi-step questions designed to differentiate between grade boundaries at the higher end.

This depends on which paper you’re sitting, since Cambridge has introduced separate non-calculator and calculator-based components within the Core and Extended tiers. It’s important to check the latest exam instructions for your specific paper before exam day, since calculator policy can affect how you approach certain topics like Trigonometry and Mensuration during revision.

Aiming for the top grades means going beyond just getting correct answers and focusing on full working, since Cambridge awards method marks even when a final answer is wrong. Strong A* candidates consistently practise multi-step problems that combine topics, such as geometry questions that also require algebraic manipulation, and review their mistakes carefully using Mark Schemes rather than just checking final answers. Generating topic-specific Testpapers for your weaker areas, identified through your Diagnostic Report, is one of the most efficient ways to close remaining gaps.
