AS Level Mathematics B (MEI)
H630/01 Pure Mathematics and Mechanics
Time allowed: 1 hour 30 minutes
*
You must have:
• the Printed Answer Booklet
• a scientific or graphical calculator
QP
*
INSTRUCTIONS
• Use black ink. You can use an HB pencil, but only for graphs and diagrams.
• Write your answer to each question in the space provided in the Printed Answer
Booklet. If you need extra space use the lined pages at the end of the Printed Answer
Booklet. The question numbers must be clearly shown.
• Fill in the boxes on the front of the Printed Answer Booklet.
• Answer all the questions.
• Where appropriate, your answer should be supported with working. Marks might be
given for using a correct method, even if your answer is wrong.
• Give your final answers to a degree of accuracy that is appropriate to the context.
• The acceleration due to gravity is denoted by g m s–2. When a numerical value is
needed use g = 9.8 unless a different value is specified in the question.
• You can write on this Question Paper but it will not be sent for marking.
INFORMATION
• The total mark for this paper is 70.
• The marks for each question are shown in brackets [ ].
• This document has 8 pages.
ADVICE
• Read each question carefully before you start your answer.
