Suggested Preparation for September
Students need to be confident in applying Higher
Level GCSE techniques, in particular:
• Manipulating surds and indices.
• Solving linear equations.
• Solving quadratic equations: by factorising,
using the formula and completing the square.
• Solving simultaneous equations by elimination
and substitution.
Students should review these topics and practise
questions on them using GCSE revision guides/the
internet.
Students will need to purchase a CASIO fx-991 EX
(ClassWiz) scientific calculator. Other calculators are
unfortunately not suitable. This is a new calculator
designed for the new specification and includes
statistical functions that are not present on other
scientific calculators.
