What examiners said
Sine graphs were occasionally misdrawn, with errors in amplitude, midline shifts, or misunderstanding of the period.
— Examiner report, May/June 2025, 0606/11 Q5(b) (Cambridge)
Most candidates showed sufficient detail and used correct equivalent trigonometric ratios and identities to obtain the given result. The majority of candidates obtained full marks.
— Examiner report, May/June 2025, 0606/12 Q4(b) (Cambridge)
Many candidates rewrote the equation in terms of cos3x and sin3x and rearranged to form tan3x = 3 . A good proportion of these candidates went on to offer a fully correct answer. A few 3 candidates squared both sides of the equation and used trigonometric identities to rewrite the equation in terms of sin23x or cos23x or rewrote it in terms of tan23x. These candidates were much more likely to have...
