Five Year Past Paper Question Analysis by topic and frequency
1. Arithmetic
• Percentage: 23%
• Recurring Patterns:
o Practical scenarios like percentage changes, proportional reasoning, and bounds
estimations.
o Foundational numerical operations integrated with real-world problem-solving.
2. Algebra
• Percentage: 35%
• Recurring Patterns:
o A strong emphasis on solving equations, manipulating formulas, and working
with sequences.
o Frequent appearance of multi-step algebraic reasoning questions.
3. Geometry
• Percentage: 27%
• Recurring Patterns:
o Problems on area, volume, and angles.
o Application of circle theorems, transformations, and trigonometric calculations.
o Often integrated with arithmetic in real-life contexts.
4. Probability and Statistics
• Percentage: 12%
• Recurring Patterns:
o Straightforward probability calculations using trees and Venn diagrams.
o Data interpretation and statistical measures, such as averages, are frequently
tested.
