CXC, CSEC Past Papers

  Mathematics January 2021 CSEC CXC Past Papers Paper 2 The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) has released the Mathematics Paper 2 for the May 2024 exams. This paper is designed for students aiming for General Proficiency and consists of two sections. Section I includes seven questions, while Section II comprises three questions. Students are required to show all their working clearly and provide answers to three significant figures or one decimal place for angles in degrees. Key topics covered include: Volume of various geometric shapes (prism, cylinder, pyramid) Circumference and arc length of circles Area calculations (circle, sector, trapezium) Roots of quadratic equations Trigonometric ratios and their applications Make sure to review the list of formulae provided in the exam booklet and practice solving similar problems to be well-prepared. Good luck to all the students taking the exam! Download paper here:  Mathematics January 2021 CSEC CXC Past Papers Paper 2

 CXC MATH PAST PAPER JAN 2021 Paper 2 LIST OF FORMULAE Volume of a prism V = Ah where A is the area of a cross-section and h is the perpendicular length. Volume of a cylinder V = πr 2 h where r is the radius of the base and h is the perpendicular height. Volume of a right pyramid V  = — Ah where A is the area of the base and h is the perpendicular height. Circumference C = 2πr where r is the radius of the circle.
