What examiners said
Comprehensive responses • Most candidates offered a fully correct response. • Forming and solving two linear equations was quite common. This was usually successful. Forming and solving a quadratic equation was also seen. Some candidates used both approaches to check their solutions. Limited responses • A few candidates stated two correct linear equations and made a slip when solving one of them....
— Examiner report, February/March 2026, 0606/12 Q6(a) (Cambridge)
Comprehensive responses • Most candidates drew in the line y = 7 on the given graph. • Many candidates obtained some of the critical values to the required level of accuracy and used them to obtain a correct acceptable range. Limited responses • Candidates made use of their calculators to solve the given inequality. The inequality needed to be solved using the graph not a calculator, as in the de...
— Examiner report, February/March 2026, 0606/22 Q3 (Cambridge)
This question proved challenging for many candidates. It required an appropriate substitution. Approaches involving logarithms, squaring individual terms, or raising each term to the sixth power were ineffective. The simplest substitution was y = 2x, leading to a solvable equation after rearrangement. Candidates needed to reject one of the solutions upon solving. An alternative substitution that w...
