What examiners said

Many correctly found the area of the circle but then did not know how to proceed to find the length of the side of the square. A common wrong approach was to divide by 4 instead of taking the square root.

— Examiner report, October/November 2023, 0607/33 Q8 (Cambridge)

Successful candidates started by writing C = 2πr or 10π = 2πr. They were then able to solve this to find r. Many candidates found working with π difficult and did not eliminate it when solving; the answer 5π was seen in a number of cases. A significant proportion of the lower achieving candidates made no progress towards a solution on this question. Starting by writing down what they know about th...

Although many candidates could work out the circumference correctly, the formula is given on page 2, many used the incorrect formula and πr2, 2πrh and πr2h were all seen. A significant number of candidates used 3.14 for pi, not the calculator value as specified in the instructions on the front cover of the examination paper.
