What examiners said

Most candidates were able to perform the required calculations correctly. Some made calculation errors, usually when multiplying by 3. A few divided 85 by 5 but were unable to continue. The weakest candidates often did not know how to start this question; they frequently divided 85 by 2 and then divided 85 by 3, leading to the common wrong answers 42.5, 28.(…).

— Examiner report, May/June 2025, 0607/12 Q7 (Cambridge)

This part was found to be more challenging. Candidates needed to set up the equation 140 − x = 2 (100 − x ) , which then could be solved.

— Examiner report, May/June 2025, 0607/23 Q5(b) (Cambridge)

Many candidates found it difficult to explain why 4 was the minimum number of coaches required. There were 2 marks available with one mark being for the method. This was either a calculation to show that 3 coaches was not enough, but 4 coaches was plenty, or dividing 105 by 32 to show that not all students would fit into 3 coaches. The second mark was for a concluding statement.
