Up to 20% of the internal assessment mark submitted to the Board of Studies for the Mathematics course may be based on the Preliminary course. Mathematics Preliminary Course Outcomes – A student: P1 Demonstrates confidence in using mathematics to obtain realistic solutions to problems P2 Provides reasoning to support conclusions which are appropriate to the context P3 Performs routine arithmetic and algebraic manipulation involving surds, simple rational expressions and trigonometric identities P4 Chooses and applies appropriate arithmetic, algebraic, graphical, trigonometric and geometric techniques
