1. Algebraic Techniques and Equation Solving | 代数技巧与方程求解
Examiners noted that many candidates lost marks through careless expansion of brackets, particularly when a negative sign preceded the bracket. For instance, simplifying 3 − 2(x − 4) often resulted in 3 − 2x − 8 instead of 3 − 2x + 8.
考官指出，许多考生由于括号展开粗心而失分，尤其是括号前有负号时。例如化简 3 − 2(x − 4) 经常错写为 3 − 2x − 8，而非正确的 3 − 2x + 8。
In solving quadratic equations, candidates frequently forgot to set the equation to zero before factorising. A question such as x² + 3x = 4 was prematurely factorised as x(x + 3) = 4, leading to invalid solutions.
在解二次方程时，考生经常忘记先移项使等式另一边为0。如 x² + 3x = 4 被错误地因式分解为 x(x + 3) = 4，得出无效解。
A recurring strength was the correct use of the quadratic formula for awkward coefficients, though some misapplied it when the equation was already in perfect square form, wasting time.
一个反复出现的优点是，对于系数不便的方程，考生能正确使用求根公式，但有些在方程已为完全平方式时仍套用公式，浪费时间。
2. Functions and Graph Transformations | 函数与图像变换
Questions involving composite functions such as f(g(x)) were generally well handled, but a significant minority confused the order of application. When given f(x) = √x and g(x) = 2x + 1, some computed g(f(x)) as 2√x + 1, which is correct, but then incorrectly labelled it as f(g(x)).
涉及复合函数如 f(g(x)) 的题目总体完成较好，但仍有少数考生混淆了应用顺序。例如给定 f(x) = √x 和 g(x) = 2x + 1，有人虽正确计算出 g(f(x)) = 2√x + 1，却错误地将其标记为 f(g(x))。
The interpretation of graph transformations caused widespread difficulty. A translation by vector ( −3, 2 ) on y = f(x) was often described as a shift left 3 and down 2, reversing both directions. Examiners stressed the need to think in terms of replacing x with x + 3 to achieve a leftward shift.
图像变换的理解造成了大面积失分。对于 y = f(x) 经过向量 (−3, 2) 平移，考生常描述为“向左3、向下2”，方向完全相反。考官强调要理解为用 x + 3 替换 x，以实现向左平移。
When sketching moduli functions, candidates often omitted the reflection of the negative part of the original graph, drawing |f(x)| as identical to f(x) when f(x) was partly negative.
在绘制模函数图像时，考生常忽略原图负值部分的反射，当 f(x) 部分为负时，将 |f(x)| 画得与 f(x) 完全一致。
3. Trigonometry: Proofs and Equations | 三角学：证明与方程
Trigonometric identities proved challenging for many. The expression tan²θ + 1 = sec²θ was often misquoted, and attempts to prove identities were marred by starting with the statement to be proved and manipulating both sides simultaneously, which is not a valid logical structure.
三角恒等式对许多人来说颇具挑战性。tan²θ + 1 = sec²θ 常被记错，证明题中，考生往往从待证等式出发、同时操作两边，这不符合有效的逻辑结构。
In solving equations like 2 sin²θ − sinθ − 1 = 0 for 0° ≤ θ ≤ 360°, high-performing candidates used substitution u = sinθ effectively, but weaker ones forgot to check for extraneous roots or discarded valid solutions because they thought sinθ > 1 was impossible without considering the equation’s own range.
在求解如 2 sin²θ − sinθ − 1 = 0（0° ≤ θ ≤ 360°）的方程时，高水平考生能有效使用变量替换 u = sinθ，而较弱考生忘记检查增根，或因认为 sinθ > 1 不可能而丢弃有效解，未结合方程自身范围判断。
Examiners praised solutions that included a clear sketch or CAST diagram to find all angles in the specified interval, noting that many marks were lost by giving only the principal value.
考官赞赏那些包含清晰图像或CAST图来求指定区间内所有角的解答，并指出许多分数因只给出主值而丢失。
4. Differentiation Fundamentals | 微分基础
The chain rule was a major stumbling block. Differentiating (3x² + 5)⁴, candidates frequently wrote 4(3x² + 5)³ and then multiplied incorrectly by the derivative of the inner function, either forgetting the factor 6x or writing 6 instead.
链式法则是一个主要障碍。在求导 (3x² + 5)⁴ 时，考生常写出 4(3x² + 5)³，然后对内函数求导时错误，或是漏掉因子 6x，或是错写为 6。
The product and quotient rules were often recognised, but algebraic simplification afterwards was a weakness. Many left derivatives in a messy, unfactorised form, which prevented them from evaluating second derivatives or stationary points efficiently.
考生通常能识别乘法法则和除法法则，但之后的代数化简是薄弱环节。许多人导数结果零乱、未因式分解，致使无法高效计算二阶导数或驻点。
Examiners advised that when differentiating expressions with roots, converting to index form first (e.g., √x as x½) reduces errors significantly.
考官建议，对含有根式的表达式求导时，先将其转换为指数形式（如 √x 写成 x½）可大幅减少错误。
5. Applications of Differentiation | 微分的应用
In finding equations of tangents and normals, a common mistake was using the derivative as the gradient of the normal directly, forgetting that m_normal = −1/m_tangent. This led to a completely incorrect line equation.
在求切线和法线方程时，一个常见错误是直接将导数作为法线的斜率，忘记了 m_normal = −1/m_tangent，导致完全错误的直线方程。
Stationary point questions were answered correctly by most, but the classification using the second derivative was sometimes misapplied when the second derivative equalled zero; candidates incorrectly concluded it was a point of inflection without further testing.
驻点问题大多数考生回答正确，但使用二阶导数判定时，有时会错误应用：当二阶导数为零时，考生未经进一步检验就错误地断定为拐点。
Modelling problems required differentiation to optimise a quantity. The examiner’s report highlighted that many candidates did not explicitly state their method, forfeiting communication marks. A clear sentence such as ‘Set dA/dx = 0 and solve for x’ was expected.
建模题需要通过微分来优化某个量。考官报告强调，许多考生未明确陈述方法，因而失去了表述分。试题期望看到类似“令 dA/dx = 0 解 x”的清晰语句。
6. Integration Techniques | 积分技巧
Integration of functions of the form (ax + b)ⁿ was often done incorrectly when n = −1. Candidates automatically applied the power rule, writing (1/a) ln(ax + b) + c, but some omitted the absolute value or mishandled the coefficient a.
对形如 (ax + b)ⁿ 的函数积分，当 n = −1 时经常出错。考生自动套用幂次法则，写成 (1/a) ln(ax + b) + c，但有些人漏掉了绝对值符号，或对系数 a 处理不当。
Definite integration saw frequent sign errors when substituting limits. A typical mistake was computing F(b) − F(a) without realising that F(a) was already negative, leading to an incorrect sum.
定积分计算中，代入上下限时常出现符号错误。典型错误是计算 F(b) − F(a) 时，未察觉 F(a) 本身为负，导致相加时得出了错误的和。
Integration by inspection was tested in a simple reverse-chain-rule context. Successful candidates spotted that ∫ 2x sin(x²) dx = −cos(x²) + c, but others tried laborious substitution, wasting time.
通过观察法积分在简单的逆链式法则情景中进行了考查。成功的考生能看出 ∫ 2x sin(x²) dx = −cos(x²) + c，而其他人则尝试繁琐的换元，浪费时间。
7. Parametric and Implicit Differentiation | 参数方程与隐函数微分
For parametric equations x = t² + 1, y = t³ − 3t, many candidates found dy/dx correctly via (dy/dt)/(dx/dt) but then failed to simplify, leaving an expression in terms of t rather than x or y as required.
对于参数方程 x = t² + 1, y = t³ − 3t，许多考生通过 (dy/dt)/(dx/dt) 正确求出 dy/dx，但未能化简，保留了用 t 表示的式子，而题目要求以 x 或 y 表示。
Implicit differentiation produced errors when differentiating terms involving y. The term 3xy² was differentiated as 3x·2y·dy/dx + 3y², which is correct, but a significant number forgot the product part entirely and wrote 6xy dy/dx.
隐函数微分中，对含 y 的项求导时错误频发。如对 3xy² 求导应为 3x·2y·dy/dx + 3y²，但很多人完全忘记了乘法的部分，错写成 6xy dy/dx。
Examiners advised writing down each step clearly, especially the use of d/dx on both sides, to minimise missing the dy/dx factor.
考官建议清晰写下每一步，尤其是两边同时对 x 求导的标记，以减少遗漏 dy/dx 因子的情况。
8. Proof and Mathematical Reasoning | 证明与数学推理
Deductive proof questions, such as proving that the sum of three consecutive integers is a multiple of 3, were approached with solid algebraic manipulation. However, some candidates started with a specific numeric example and treated it as a general proof, which was penalised heavily.
演绎证明题，如证明三个连续整数之和为3的倍数，考生的代数操作总体扎实。但有些人用一个具体的数字例子开始，并视之为一般性证明，这被严重扣分。
Proof by contradiction was less familiar: ‘Prove that if n² is odd then n is odd’ required assuming n is even. Weakest responses attempted to prove the converse instead, which does not logically establish the statement.
反证法相对陌生：证明“若 n² 为奇数，则 n 为奇数”需要假设 n 是偶数。最薄弱的回答试图证明逆命题，这在逻辑上并不能确立原命题。
Examiners noted that a clear statement of the assumption and a concluding sentence referencing a contradiction were essential for full marks.
考官指出，清晰陈述假设，并以点明矛盾的结论句收尾，是获得满分的必要条件。
9. Vectors in Pure Mathematics | 纯数学中的向量
Vector geometry questions often asked for the angle between two lines. Candidates lost marks by using the dot product formula a·b = |a||b| cos θ but forgetting to take the modulus when computing the magnitudes of direction vectors given in component form.
向量几何题常求两直线夹角。考生运用点积公式 a·b = |a||b| cos θ 但忘记在计算用分量形式给出的方向向量的模时取绝对值而失分。
When proving that three points were collinear, strong responses showed that the vectors between pairs were scalar multiples of each other. Weaker attempts merely stated that the lengths of the segments looked equal from a diagram, which earned no credit.
在证明三点共线时，优秀的答案展示了每两点间的向量互为标量倍数。较差的尝试仅凭图像断言线段长度相等，不得分。
Examiners recommended the use of column vectors to minimise algebraic slips, especially when subtracting coordinates.
考官建议使用列向量以减少代数错误，尤其是在坐标相减时。
10. Sequences and Series | 数列与级数
Arithmetic series problems were generally well attempted, but the formula Sₙ = n/2 [2a + (n − 1)d] was occasionally misapplied when the nth term was given instead of the first. Candidates were urged to identify a, d, and n explicitly before substituting.
等差数列问题总体完成较好，但当给出的是第 n 项而非首项时，求和公式 Sₙ = n/2 [2a + (n − 1)d] 偶尔被误用。建议考生在代入之前先明确找出 a、d 和 n。
In geometric sequences, the most common error was mishandling the common ratio r when it was negative. For r = −½, calculating r² resulted in a positive value, but candidates sometimes kept a negative sign, corrupting later terms.
等比数列中，最常见的错误是当公比 r 为负时处理不当。如 r = −½，r² 应为正，但考生有时保留负号，导致后续各项出错。
The sum to infinity formula was remembered, but many did not check the condition |r| < 1 before applying it, leading to meaningless answers for divergent series.
考生记得无限求和公式，但许多人未先检验条件 |r| < 1 就加以使用，对发散级数得出无意义答案。
Examiners observed that modeling a real-life situation with a sequence was more demanding; candidates needed to interpret the context accurately to decide which formula was appropriate.
考官观察到，将现实情境建模为数列更具挑战性；考生需准确解读背景，以决定使用哪个公式合适。
