The specimen paper 1 was useful to provide us with a glimpse of what is to be expected of the upcoming syllabus. The last two questions, in particular, showed us the extent of applications. It is definitely different from the old 9740 H2 Mathematics Syllabus as the questions are more intuitive and seek to push students’ imaginations more.
In this paper, Question 9 and Question 11 serve to be the application questions. Question 4 is a contextual/ application question that involves modelling solution. Question 8 test students on application of Mathematics and generally involves a brief statement to test the application.
