Questions people ask

Are these past exam questions?

No. Every question is written for this course, in the style of Ordinary Level questions, with its own context and numbers.

How are typed answers checked?

By value or form: 0.375 and 3/8 both count for a probability, and (x + 4)(2x - 3) counts for (2x - 3)(x + 4), unless the question asks for one form. Complex numbers are typed as a + bi.
