How to fill this in

  1. Review each sub-topic and choose Confident, Needs practice, or Not started.
  2. This is not graded. Its purpose is to identify the most useful starting point for your personalized learning plan.
  3. Anything marked Needs practice appears automatically in Your Practice List. Describe the first step where your confidence drops.
Useful

"A1.2.2 — I can complete the square, but I am unsure how the sign of the squared-term coefficient tells me whether the turning point is a minimum or maximum."

Too broad

"Quadratics are hard."

Precise notes help the tutor choose a focused worked example instead of repeating an entire topic.

Check the CSEC Mathematics foundation first

Additional Mathematics assumes fluent fraction arithmetic, algebraic manipulation, index laws, solving linear and quadratic equations, and coordinate gradients. If one of these foundations is not yet secure, record the Add Maths topic honestly and repair the prerequisite through the CSEC Mathematics pathway before continuing.

Read this before you tick a single box

A right answer with no working scores badly on Paper 2. A wrong answer with clear, correct working still earns method marks. So the test for "I can do this" is not can I get the answer — it is:

Can I write Given that…name the operation before I do it → one step per line, equals signs aligned → a Check line → and a boxed final answer with its units?

If you cannot do that yet, choose “Needs practice.”

Where the algebra spine shows up

Polynomial fluency, quadratics, indices, surds, and logarithms run underneath coordinate geometry, trigonometry, calculus, probability, and statistics. Strengthening this algebra spine protects marks across every section.

Your Practice List

Every topic marked Needs practice appears here, grouped by topic. Name the first step where your confidence drops. You can also add or remove topics here without scrolling back up.

Your Five Practice Questions

These questions are ordered around the topics you identify. Each card explains why it appears in your practice set. Work on paper, show every step, and record where your method first becomes uncertain.
