Short writeup:
The 2018 IJC H2 Math Paper 2 presents a paper that feels largely familiar to most students, with questions inspired by common prelim papers and topics often emphasized by teachers. Many of the insights offered throughout this exam will feel like reminders of essential concepts discussed in class, particularly in the Pure Math section. While these questions may stretch students' understanding, they won't be overly taxing.
The Pure Math component is where most students will find a challenge. It requires a solid grasp of various concepts, and some students might lose confidence as they work through it. However, once they reach the statistics section, the paper becomes more manageable. The statistics component is more straightforward and routine, with familiar types of questions, progressive in difficulty, and unlikely to overwhelm.
This balance in the paper means that while students may find some difficulty early on, they should regain their confidence as they continue. It offers just the right level of challenge without feeling excessively difficult, making it an excellent choice for timed practice. The paper is particularly beneficial for students who need to strengthen their skills in statistics while still testing their Pure Math abilities.
Overall, I recommend this paper for students looking for a well-rounded practice under timed conditions. It’s a good opportunity for those who may lack mastery in statistics to build their confidence before the actual A-level exams.
