A Level Mathematics – Most Predictable Topics
(Based on Recent Trends)
PURE MATHEMATICS (Highest Weightage)
1 Differentiation (tangents, normals, rates of change)
2 Integration (area under curve, definite/indefinite integrals)
3 Functions (composite, inverse, transformations)
4 Sequences & Series (AP, GP, sigma notation)
5 Algebra (quadratics, inequalities, logarithms, indices)
6 Trigonometry (identities, equations, radians)
STATISTICS (Very Common)
1 Probability (conditional probability, tree diagrams)
2 Normal Distribution
3 Binomial Distribution
4 Mean, variance, standard deviation
5 Hypothesis testing
MECHANICS (Frequently Tested)
