三校均重点考查代数运算能力：多项式展开、因式分解和化简。例如，化简 (x+2)(x-3)+5x 需要速度和准确性。二次方程是核心考点，学生要能够通过因式分解、配方法或求根公式 x = (-b ± √b² - 4ac) / (2a) 求解。
Simultaneous equations, both linear and linear-quadratic, appeared consistently. WFLA often included a system involving a quadratic and a linear equation, requiring substitution method. Word problems leading to equations were also common.
联立方程组，包括一次方程组和一次-二次方程组，频繁出现。世外常涉及二次与一次联立，需要用代入法求解。以应用题为背景建立方程也很常见。
Ulink included fractional equations and basic rational expressions, closely matching IGCSE difficulty, while Pinghe added more complex absolute value equations and radical equations.
领科考查了分式方程和基础有理表达式，难度与IGCSE相当；平和则加入了更复杂的绝对值方程和根式方程。
3. Functions and Graphs | 函数与图像
ons y = k/x were tested. Students needed to find vertex, axis of symmetry, and intercepts. Pinghe' the maximum area of a rectangle given a fixed perimeter, modeled as a quadratic function.
理解函数及其图像是必考点。一次函数 y = mx + c，二次函数 y = ax² + bx + c (a ≠ 0) 和反比例函数 y = k/x 均有考查。学生需要会求顶点坐标、对称轴和截距。平和的一道题要求用二次函数模型求固定周长的矩形最大面积。
f f(x) = (x - 2)² + 3 based on y = x². Recognizing horizontal and vertical shifts was key.
世外涉及函数图像变换，如给出 y = (x - 2)² + 3 需要描述相对 y = x² 的平移，掌握水平和垂直移动是关键。
Ulink emphasized sketching and interpreting graphs, in line with CIE's assessment of graph-drawing and reading values.
领科强调画图与读图，符合CIE对作图和读取信息的评估要求。
4. Geometry and Trigonometry | 几何与三角学
Classic geometry problems with triangles, circles, and parallel lines recurred. The Pythagorean theorem, similarity, and properties of special right triangles (30°-60°-90°, 45°-45°-90°) were tested. For circles, theorems about central and inscribed angles appeared, especially in WFLA.
经典的平面几何问题涉及三角形、圆和平行线。勾股定理、相似以及特殊直角三角形（30°-60°-90°、45°-45°-90°）的性质都有考查。对于圆，圆心角和圆周角定理在考题中出现，尤其在世外。
sked to solve a triangle given two sides and an included angle using the cosine rule: c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos C.
三角函数基础：直角三角形中的正弦、余弦和正切，以及简单的三角方程，如 sin x = 0.5 求给定范围内的角。平和考了已知两边及夹角解三角形，需要用到余弦定理：c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos C。
5. Coordinate Geometry | 解析几何
. The equation of a circle (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r² and finding its center and radius from general form were tested in Ulink and WFLA.
距离公式、中点公式和斜率公式是基础。问题要求根据两点或一点和斜率求直线方程。圆方程 (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r² 以及从一般式求圆心和半径在领科和世外均有考查。
ber of intersections. A typical problem: find k such that y = 2x + k is tangent to y = x².
直线与曲线的交点，尤其是直线与抛物线的交点，需要利用二次判别式判断交点个数。典型题：求 k 使 y = 2x + k 与 y = x² 相切。
6. Probability and Statistics | 概率与统计
Basic probability using tree diagrams and listing outcomes was common. Questions about drawing balls from a bag without replacement, or rolling dice. The concept of expected value appeared in Pinghe's exam.
使用树状图和列举结果的基本概率问题很常见。如袋中摸球不放回、掷骰子等。期望值的概念出现在平和的考试中。
Statistics focused on mean, median, mode, and range. Interpreting bar charts and pie charts was required. Ulink included cumulative frequency and box-and-whisker plots from IGCSE statistics content.
统计集中于平均数、中位数、众数和极差。要求会解读条形图和饼图。领科包含了IGCSE统计中的累积频数和箱线图。
7. Word Problems and Mathematical Modelling | 应用题与数学建模
Setting up equations from real-world contexts was crucial. Rate-time-distance problems, work-rate problems, and mixture problems appeared. WFLA asked a problem about two trains traveling towards each other, requiring relative speed reasoning.
根据实际问题建立方程是关键。行程问题、工程问题、浓度混合问题都有出现。世外考了两列火车相对而行的题目，需要运用相对速度推理。
such as compound interest or population growth using exponential functions A = P(1 + r/n)nt (simplified to A = P(1+r)t for annual compounding) were tested in Pinghe.
增长与衰减情境，如复利或人口增长，使用指数函数 A = P(1 + r/n)nt（简化年度复利为 A = P(1+r)t）在平和考试中考查。
8. Logical Reasoning and Number Theory | 逻辑推理与数论
WFLA especially included non-routine problems requiring logical deduction, such as number puzzles, truth-tellers and liars, or pattern finding in sequences. For instance, find the nth term of 2, 6, 12, 20,... which is n(n+1
