Five Year Past Paper Question Analysis by topic and frequency
1. Arithmetic
• Percentage: 42%
• Recurring Patterns:
o Foundational skills like converting fractions, decimals, and percentages.
o Cost-related questions (e.g., total costs, discounts).
o Ratios and proportional reasoning are highly emphasized.
o Probability concepts integrated with arithmetic in some cases.
2. Algebra
• Percentage: 28%
• Recurring Patterns:
o Simplifying and expanding expressions.
o Solving linear equations and rearranging formulas.
o Sequences, focusing on nth term rules.
o Problem-solving requiring logical reasoning.
3. Geometry
• Percentage: 21%
• Recurring Patterns:
o Perimeter, area, and volume of 2D and 3D shapes.
o Transformations (e.g., reflection, translation).
o Angle calculations and symmetry analysis.
o Occasional inclusion of trigonometry for simple applications.
4. Probability and Statistics
• Percentage: 8%
• Recurring Patterns:
o Basic probability calculations, often presented in tree diagrams.
o Interpreting Venn diagrams or charts.
