How to pass Mathematics N2

Mathematics N2 is marked as a calculation paper, so the way you revise for it matters as much as the hours you put in.

  1. Watch your units before you start: mixing millimetres with metres, or kPa with Pa, is the single most common way marks disappear.
  2. When you are stuck, write what you do know. Method marks are awarded even when the final answer is wrong.
  3. Write the formula, substitute the numbers, then solve. Each of those is a separate mark, so an answer with no working scores far less than it should.
  4. The formula sheet is supplied. Spend revision time learning where things are on it rather than memorising them.
  5. Work through the papers on this page under exam conditions, then mark yourself honestly against the memorandum. Doing three papers properly beats skimming ten.
