ILLUSTRATIVE REPORT · NOT A LEARNER RESULT

A mark. An explanation. A next step.

This example uses five free taster questions and made-up selections to show the feedback. No learner took this sitting, and it is not a paid-paper result.

See where the marks went.

The example gets three questions right and misses two. A paid paper has 50 questions; the same topic breakdown and review tools help you work through its results.

  2. B24
  3. C30
  4. D32
  5. E42

Illustrative selection: A · 0/1 marks

Maths · Measures

A rectangle has perimeter 34 cm and length 11 cm. What is its area?

Choose one answer.

  1. A66 cm²
  2. B132 cm²
  3. C23 cm²
  4. D121 cm²
  5. E34 cm²

Illustrative selection: B · 0/1 marks

Show answer and explanation

A: 66 cm²

The length and width together are half the perimeter: 34 ÷ 2 = 17 cm. The width is 17 − 11 = 6 cm. Area = 11 × 6 = 66 cm².
