What examiners said
Comprehensive responses • A good proportion of candidates offered correct solutions. • Most of these candidates equated the position vectors of A and B at time t and showed there to be an inconsistency either in time or position. • A few of these candidates correctly showed that it was not possible for the distance between A and B to be 0. Limited responses • A few candidates made arithmetic slip...
— Examiner report, February/March 2026, 0606/12 Q9(a)(ii) (Cambridge)
Fewer candidates obtained full marks for this question part. Many did not equate like vectors and so were unable to obtain any marks.
— Examiner report, May/June 2025, 0606/12 Q11(b) (Cambridge)
In this question, candidates first needed to find the unit vector in the direction given and then multiply by the speed of the particle, to find the velocity vector. This could then be used with the starting point given in the question, to form the position vector required. A few candidates carried out all of these steps correctly. A small number of candidates found the correct velocity vector but...
