What examiners said

Comprehensive responses • Most candidates used the correct order of operations to obtain an unsimplified expression. • Most candidates continued to correctly simplify their correct unsimplified expression to obtain an acceptable form of the answer. Limited responses • Some candidates did not simplify (e3x)2 correctly. • Some candidates used the incorrect order of operations.

— Examiner report, February/March 2026, 0606/22 Q1(d) (Cambridge)

Comprehensive responses • Most candidates found the midpoint of line AB and the gradient of a line perpendicular to AB. Many then found the equation of the perpendicular bisector and substituted x = 2 to find the correct value of a. Limited responses • The main error was the use of the coordinates of the points A or B, rather than the midpoint to find the equation of the perpendicular bisector. •...

Comprehensive responses • Many candidates drew a diagram and used displacement vectors to obtain the correct coordinates of the reflection. • Other methods were acceptable but tended to be less successful. Limited responses • Some candidates assumed that the coordinates of the point of reflection were obtained by changing the sign of each of the original coordinates.
