How it is assessed
Under the current study design, Unit 3 and Unit 4 school-assessed coursework contribute 20% each, Exam 1 (1 hour plus 15 minutes' reading, 40 marks, no technology) contributes 20%, and Exam 2 (2 hours plus reading: 20 multiple-choice questions and extended responses) contributes 40%.
Scaling and the ATAR
In 2025, Mathematical Methods had a scaled mean of 34.4. A study score of 30 scaled to 35, and a 40 scaled to 46.
Where marks are lost
The same patterns show up in marked work every year:
- โ Algebra too slow for the tech-free Exam 1
- โ CAS used without showing the required working
- โ Probability questions misread
- โ Function transformations in the wrong order
- โ Extended responses that lose marks on early parts
