This course is a broad-based course covering arithmetic, algebra, graphs, trigonometry and statistics; this contrasts with other Intermediate FSMQs which look at self-contained areas of the subject in depth. Assessment is by a two hour examination which consists of 40 multiple choice questions. Computers, graphical calculators and those with computer algebra facilities are not permitted.
