Zusammenfassung:Covering less topics more thoroughly is a deliberate strategy, especially since the level 6 papers require very few new methods or prior technical knowledge, apart from the conventions of algebra, and are more about creative problem solving and understanding concepts. Examples include solving problems with two way tables; working out data items from clues about the mean; finding avalué for x when an expression equals a prime number; changing a decimal into a fraction out of 200; 10% of T4; and creative ways of finding compound areas.
