OCR (Oxford Cambridge and RSA) is a leading UK awarding body, providing a wide range of qualifications to meet the needs of candidates of all ages and abilities. OCR qualifications include AS/A Levels, Diplomas, GCSEs, Cambridge Nationals, Cambridge Technicals, Functional Skills, Key Skills, Entry Level qualifications, NVQs and vocational qualifications in areas such as IT, business, languages, teaching/training, administration and secretarial skills. It is also responsible for developing new specifications to meet national requirements and the needs of students and teachers. OCR is a not-for-profit organisation; any surplus made is invested back into the establishment to help towards the development of qualifications and support, which keep pace with the changing needs of today’s society. This report on the examination provides information on the performance of candidates which it is hoped will be useful to teachers in their preparation of candidates for future examinations. It is intended to be constructive and informative and to promote better understanding of the specification content, of the operation of the scheme of assessment and of the application of assessment criteria. Reports should be read in conjunction with the published question papers and mark schemes for the examination. OCR will not enter into any discussion or correspondence in connection with this report. © OCR 2016

6989 Foundations of Advanced Mathematics

The mean mark, at 29 was slightly up on previous years. One candidate scored 4 marks and two

candidates obtained full marks. At least one candidate did not offer an answer in 12 questions,

scattered throughout the paper.

In all questions each of the distracting responses was selected by at least one candidate

In two questions the correct response was given by fewer than 50% of candidates and in one case the

majority of candidates chose an incorrect option.

Q18 Algebra – rearrangement of formulae

This was a typical question where candidates have to decide on two rearrangements. In this case the

rearrangement of Lidka was correct but that of Jason was incorrect (option C). Only 38 % chose this

option. Nearly equal proportions chose B and D, the two options in which Lidka was stated to be

incorrect.

Q35 Probability.

Option B was the incorrect probability but only 38% of candidates chose this response. Candidates

probably thought that the correct probability for exactly one 4 wasError! Objects cannot be created

from editing field codes., forgetting that the 4 could be in any of the 3 positions meaning that the

correct probability is actually Error! Objects cannot be created from editing field codes.. Option

D, however, was chosen by 45% of candidates and this was actually correct. P(at least one 2) =

1 – P(no 2s) = Error! Objects cannot be created from editing field codes..

As in previous sessions I offer a summary of questions with the approximate percentage of candidates

giving the correct responses.
