Year 11 Mock Exam Practice: Solve Cube Problems & Graph Equations!











Question 2: Cube Geometry
This question explores the relationship between surface area and volume of a cube, requiring reverse calculation from surface area to find volume.
Definition: Surface area is the total area of all faces of a 3D shape Vocabulary: Total surface area of a cube = 6x², where x is the length of one edge Example: For a cube with surface area 150cm², the edge length is 5cm and volume is 125cm³

Question 3: Set Theory and Probability
This question tests understanding of Venn diagrams and probability concepts using sets of numbers with specific properties.
Definition: A Venn diagram shows relationships between different sets Vocabulary: B' (complement of set B) contains all elements not in set B Example: Odd numbers and square numbers are represented in different regions of the Venn diagram

Question 4: Percentage Calculations
This question involves reverse percentage calculations in a real-world context of holiday pricing.
Example: If a 20% increase equals £240, the original price can be calculated by finding 10% (£120) and multiplying by 10 Highlight: Working backwards from the percentage increase to find the original amount

Question 5: Simultaneous Equations
This question tests graphical solution of simultaneous equations using line intersections.
Definition: The point of intersection of two lines represents the solution to simultaneous equations Example: The equations 2-2y=x and 2y=3x-22 are solved graphically Highlight: The solution can be verified by substituting coordinates into both equations

Question 6: Algebraic Manipulation
This question involves expanding brackets and combining like terms in algebraic expressions.
Vocabulary: Terms with the same variables and powers can be combined Example: (6x²y³)² is expanded using the power rule Highlight: Final answer must be in the form ax^b y^c where a, b, c are integers

Question 7: Direct Proportion
This question tests understanding of direct proportion relationships and calculations.
Definition: Direct proportion means y = kx where k is the constant of proportionality Example: Using y = 24 when x = 1.5 to find k, then calculating y when x = 5 Highlight: All working steps must be shown to demonstrate understanding

Question 8: Perpendicular Lines
This question explores the relationship between gradients of perpendicular lines.
Definition: Perpendicular lines have gradients that are negative reciprocals of each other Example: If one line has gradient m, the perpendicular line has gradient -1/m Highlight: The solution requires solving equations to find the value of k

Question 9: Formula Rearrangement
This question tests ability to make x the subject of a complex formula.
Example: Rearranging y = 4/ to isolate x Highlight: Multiple steps of algebraic manipulation required

Question 10: Counting Principles
This question involves applying multiplication principle in a restaurant menu context.
Example: 5 starters × 12 main courses × x desserts = 420 combinations Highlight: Real-world application of counting principles

Question 11: Circle Theorems
This question tests knowledge and application of circle theorems.
Definition: A tangent is perpendicular to the radius at the point of contact Example: Using circle theorems to find angle ADC Highlight: Multiple circle theorems must be applied sequentially

Students love us — and so will you.
The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.
This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.
Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.
