What examiners said
Generally, candidates matched the boxes successfully to gain full credit.
— Examiner report, February/March 2025, 0653/32 Q7(a) (Cambridge)
There were many excellent answers to this calculation. Credit was awarded for evidence that candidates knew that distance was related to the area under the graph. This could have been a direct statement or evidence from arithmetic expressions. Clear working allowed some candidates to be awarded partial credit for correct steps in the calculation.
— Examiner report, February/March 2024, 0653/42 Q9(b)(i) (Cambridge)
Candidates found this a demanding question and approached it in different ways. Some started by working out the difference between the values (0.3) and then working out whether this is greater or less than 10% of either of the original values. Others calculated the value given by a 10% increase in the lower value or a 10% decrease in the higher value and showed that these were not within 10% of ea...
