What examiners said
The majority of candidates gained full credit for this question.
— Examiner report, October/November 2022, 0413/13 Q4(a) (Cambridge)
Some candidates confused long-term effects of exercise with short-term effects, but the majority of candidates were able to achieve at least partial credit. Typical responses included an increase in heart rate, increasing breathing rate, sweating and fatigue.
— Examiner report, May/June 2022, 0413/11 Q14(c) (Cambridge)
Most candidates gained credit for scaling the time axis and plotting the data to provide an appropriate shape of the graph. A number of candidates found the scale on the heart rate axis more challenging, with some using a scale that made it difficult to plot the data and other candidates did not follow basic mathematical principles of scaling.
