CANDIDATE INSTRUCTIONS You MUST ensure that you have addressed ALL of the externally assessed criteria on this examination paper. This examination paper has FIVE sections. You must answer ALL questions. It is suggested that you spend approximately 36 minutes on each section. The 2013 Information Sheets for Mathematics Specialised and Mathematics Methods can be used throughout the examination (provided with the paper). No other written material is allowed into the examination. Markers will look at your presentation of answers and at the arguments leading to answers when determining your result on each criterion. You must show the method used to solve a question. If you show only your answers you will get few, if any, marks. You are permitted to bring into the examination room: pens, pencils, highlighters, erasers, sharpeners, rulers, a protractor, set-squares, aids for curve sketching and an approved scientific or Graphics or CAS calculator (memory may be retained). Unless instructed otherwise, your calculator may be used to its full capacity when undertaking this examination. Answer each section in a separate answer booklet. All written responses must be in English.


This section assesses Criterion 3. Markers will look at your presentation of answers and at the arguments leading to answers when determining your result on each criterion.
