What examiners said
A small minority were able to give the correct answer. Some candidates were able to give a correct vector route e.g. YA + AX or YB + BC + CX but then could not proceed to give the correct final answer as they had made sign errors, slips in arithmetic or did not simplify their expression. As in the previous part, weaker candidates did not score any marks and some did not attempt it.

The majority of candidates identified that the transformation was a rotation. Many identified that it was rotated through 90°, but some did not state that the direction was clockwise. It was common to either omit the centre of rotation or give an incorrect centre. A small number of candidates stated more than one transformation when the question asked for a single transformation.
— Examiner report, October/November 2023, 4024/12 Q7(a) (Cambridge)
This question was challenging for many. Few candidates started by using the given information to write down that the scale factor of the enlargement was 3. Some drew rays from the given centre of enlargement (5, 5) and this often led to a correct shape in the correct position. Some candidates drew a 3 times enlargement in the wrong position on the grid. It was common to see a 2 times enlargement o...
