How to practise exam questions by topic
- Choose the topic that cost marks in classwork or a past paper. Try the questions without notes so the first attempt shows what the student can actually recall.
- Use the mark scheme to compare the method as well as the final answer. For written subjects, check that each credited point is stated clearly; for calculations, identify the first step that went wrong.
- Revisit the same topic after a gap, then mix it into a full paper. Topic practice repairs one weakness at a time, while a timed paper checks whether the method can still be recognised among other questions.
See the method: Data Cleaning and Outliers (Foundation)
A nurse records the weights (kg) of 8 patients: 62, 65, 71, 68, 640, 70, 66, 69. (a) Identify the outlier. (b) Suggest a likely explanation. (c) Calculate the mean weight with the outlier removed.
- Compare each value with the rest: 640 kg is far larger than all the other weights (62 to 71 kg), so 640 is the outlier.
- A likely explanation is a data entry error, for example the decimal point was missed and the true value was 64.0 kg.
- Remove the outlier, leaving 7 values: 62, 65, 71, 68, 70, 66, 69.
- Sum the remaining values: 62 + 65 + 71 + 68 + 70 + 66 + 69 = 471.
- Divide by the number of values: 471 divided by 7 = 67.285714...
- Final answer: the outlier is 640 kg, likely a data entry error, and the mean weight of the remaining 7 patients is 67.3 kg (1 dp).
