3,200 m — Exam routes
The climb to the exam
The mountain shows where your child stands. When an exam is coming, a route is the climb to
that exam: the syllabus’s own topics and papers, with a calculator or without as the paper says, marked
the way the paper marks them. There are routes for Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics 0580, Core and
Extended, and for IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches SL. Each starts from the rung where that
exam is sat — rung 4 for IGCSE, rung 6 for the IB Diploma — so the placement tells you how far there is to go.
Topic sets are short. A summit day is a full mock paper against the clock, marked once; sit both
papers of a set and the summit-day patch goes on the wall. Every question is original, written to the published
topic lists and never copied from a past paper. The score is a floor, not a forecast: each answer is marked right or
wrong, and a real paper would also give method marks.
