You must have:
Mathematical Formulae and Statistical Tables (Green), calculator,
D1 Answer Book (enclosed)
Candidates may use any calculator allowed by Pearson regulations.
Calculators must not have the facility for symbolic algebra
manipulation, differentiation and integration, or have retrievable
mathematical formulae stored in them.
Instructions
• Use black ink or ball-point
• If pencil is used for diagrams/sketches/graphs it must be dark
• Fill
