Higher Level Diploma in Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation

Assessment

The core topics are assessed through three written papers taken at the end of the course. These contribute 80% of the final mark. The shorter paper will be focussed on problem-solving questions. Students will take three written exam papers consisting of short and longer answers: one without the use of technology and one using a graphic calculator. Paper 3 will be a one-hour problem-solving paper. The Internal assessment, which contributes the remaining 20% of the final mark, is through a written mathematical exploration.
