About this booklet
This document has been produced to support mathematics teachers delivering the GCE
Mathematics specification.
This document looks at questions from the 9MA0-02 A level Mathematics Paper 2: Pure
Mathematics October 2020 examination paper. It shows real student responses to these
questions, and how the examining team follow the mark schemes to demonstrate how the
students are awarded the marks.
* The question level performance data is there to give an indication only of how students
performed, on each question, in the context of sitting the entire exam paper and is not an
indication of how students may perform sitting a question in isolation. The performance data of
this series doesn’t represent a normal series due to small number of entries.
