Five Year Past Paper Question Analysis by topic and frequency
1. Arithmetic
• Percentage: 24%
• Recurring Patterns:
o Real-life scenarios like percentage calculations, proportional reasoning, and
scaling.
o Common tasks include budgeting, bounds, and flow rate problems.
o Strong focus on numerical operations embedded within practical contexts.
2. Algebra
• Percentage: 34%
• Recurring Patterns:
o Consistently the most tested topic.
o Emphasis on solving quadratic and simultaneous equations, simplifying
expressions, and inequalities.
o Regular tasks involving sequences, transformations, and graph-related algebraic
reasoning.
o Often integrated with geometry and real-world problems.
3. Geometry
• Percentage: 27%
• Recurring Patterns:
o Heavy focus on trigonometry, circle theorems, and transformations.
o Problems involving 2D and 3D shapes, such as area, volume, and vector
geometry.
o Geometry tasks are often presented with diagrams, requiring careful
interpretation.
