What examiners said

Around half of the candidates correctly identified the order of rotational symmetry of the shape as order 2. A significant number did not attempt the question.

— Examiner report, May/June 2025, 0580/31 Q5(a) (Cambridge)

Candidates were more successful at drawing all the lines of symmetry on the shape, although a common error was to draw the correct two lines but also two incorrect diagonal lines. Most lines were drawn freehand and not always very accurately, but the intention was there and still gained full marks.

— Examiner report, May/June 2025, 0580/31 Q5(b) (Cambridge)

This question was generally well answered with successful candidates using compasses and a ruler to construct an accurate triangle ABC. Many candidates gained one mark for an accurate triangle without arcs or did not use the compasses and drew arcs freehand. Candidates who did not measure or set their compasses inaccurately scored no marks.
