Information

Not in any particular order.
Physics (Paper 3)
Section A will consist of 6 longer structured questions based on the Core Syllabus of which candidates will answer four. Each question will carry 20 marks.

Section B wil lconsist of 4 options, each of which will consist of a variable number of questions. Each option will carry 30 marks. candidates are required to answer all questions from one of the four options. The rubric will advise candidates to spend about 40 minutes on section B.

Total marks: 110 Time given: 2 h 30 min.

I think that means that we only have to mug like 5 topics (including PoF) in great detail, but don't bet on what I say.
1. Diffraction 2. Line Spectra3. Analogue Electronics 4. Physics of fluids 5. Dynamics and Kinematics6. Oscillations 7. Current Electricity/D.C Circuits 8. Alternating Currents 9. Photoelectricity

Oh which, photoelectricity and line spectra can be combined, and Current Electricity and Alternating Current can be combined.

Biology (Paper 3)
This paper will be marked out of 65 and then scaled to a mark out of 66.
Questions will be set on each of the Option syllabuses but a knowledge of Core material may be required.

Total marks: 65 Time given: 1h 30 min.

Mathematics (Paper 1)
A paper consisting of 4 sections, Sections A, B, C and D.
Section A (Pure Mathematics - 34 marks) will consist of about 5 questions of differnet marks and lengths based on Sections 1 to 16 of the Pure Mathematics syllabus.

Section D (Probability and Statistics - 66 marks) will consist of 6 to 7 questions of different marks and lengths for 54 marks, with a final Either/Or question with two alternatives (12 marks for each alternative). Questions will be based on Sections 1 to 7 of Probability and Statistics syllabus (refer to Math TYS).

On a brief note, topics that did not appear so far for Mathematics can include: Mathematical Induction, 3-Dimensional Trigonometry, Permutations and Combinations, Small Angle Approximations, Differentiation - Gradient of Tangent/Normal, Vectors, First Order Differential Equations

Hope the above information is helpful.
