1. Mastering Index Laws | 掌握指数律
add the exponents on the same variable. So 3 × 2 = 6, and a² × a⁴ = a²⁺⁴ = a⁶, giving 6a⁶.
许多历年真题会以类似 3a² × 2a⁴ 的化简题开篇。你需要将数字相乘，并将相同变量的指数相加。3 × 2 = 6，a² × a⁴ = a²⁺⁴ = a⁶，因此答案为 6a⁶。
³. Divide the coefficients (10 ÷ 2 = 5) and subtract the exponents (5 - 3 = 2) to get 5x².
更具挑战性的题型涉及除法：化简 10x⁵ ÷ 2x³。将系数相除（10 ÷ 2 = 5），指数相减（5 - 3 = 2），得到 5x²。
Examiner's tip: Never change the base during multiplication or division; x⁵ ÷ x³ is not 1x⁵⁻³⁾, it is x². Always write the variable with its new exponent clearly.
考官提示：乘除运算中切勿改变底数；x⁵ ÷ x³ 并不是 1x⁵⁻³⁾，而是 x²。始终清晰地写出带有新指数的变量。
2. Expanding Brackets and Factorising Quadratics | 展开括号与二次因式分解
Inner (3·x = 3x), Last (3·-5 = -15). Combine like terms: x² - 5x + 3x - 15 = x² - 2x - 15.
一道典型的真题是：展开并化简 (x + 3)(x - 5)。使用首外内尾方法（FOIL）：首项 (x·x = x²)，外项 (x·-5 = -5x)，内项 (3·x = 3x)，尾项 (3·-5 = -15)。合并同类项：x² - 5x + 3x - 15 = x² - 2x - 15。
Factorising is the reverse process: Factorise x² - 2x - 15. You need two numbers that multiply to -15 and add to -2. The pair is -5 and +3, so the factors are (x - 5)(x + 3).
因式分解则是逆过程：因式分解 x² - 2x - 15。你需要找到两个数，乘积为 -15，和为 -2。这两个数是 -5 和 +3，因此分解为 (x - 5)(x + 3)。
Beware of the sign when the constant term is negative; examiners often test your ability to handle mixed signs in the factors. Always check by expanding your answer.
注意常数项为负时的符号；考官经常测试你在因子中处理混合符号的能力。始终通过展开你的答案来检验。
3. Solving Linear and Basic Quadratic Equations | 解一次方程和简单的二次方程
x + 8 = 3x - 6. Then bring x terms to one side: 8 + 6 = 3x - 2x, giving 14 = x. So x = 14.
解方程：2(x + 4) = 3x - 6。首先展开括号：2x + 8 = 3x - 6。然后将含 x 项移到一侧：8 + 6 = 3x - 2x，得到 14 = x，即 x = 14。
racket to zero: x + 3 = 0 => x = -3, or x - 2 = 0 => x = 2. Always present both solutions.
对于由因式组成的二次方程，如 (x + 3)(x - 2) = 0，分别令每个括号为零：x + 3 = 0 => x = -3，或 x - 2 = 0 => x = 2。务必给出两个解。
Many students lose marks for failing to write the word 'or' = -3, x = 2 is not enough if the question asks to solve; you should write x = -3 or x = 2.
许多学生因未在两个解之间写“或”而失分。考官报告强调，如果题目要求解方程，仅写 x = -3, x = 2 是不够的；你应写 x = -3 或 x = 2。
4. Coordinate Geometry: Gradient, Midpoint and Length | 坐标几何：斜率、中点与长度
ind the gradient of AB: gradient = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) = (10 - 2) / (5 - 1) = 8 / 4 = 2.
WJEC 试卷偏爱以点 A(1, 2) 和 B(5, 10) 为顶点构成的三角形。求 AB 的斜率：斜率 = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) = (10 - 2) / (5 - 1) = 8 / 4 = 2。
((1+5)/2, (2+10)/2) = (3, 6). Never forget to write both x and y coordinates in brackets.
中点 M 通过坐标取平均得到：M = ((1+5)/2, (2+10)/2) = (3, 6)。永远别忘了将 x、y 坐标写在同一个括号内。
istance AB, use Pythagoras: distance² = (5-1)² + (10-2)² = 4² + 8² = 16 + 64 = 80, so AB = √80 = √16×5 = 4√5. Leave in surd form unless otherwise stated.
要求线段 AB 的长度，使用勾股定理：长度² = (5-1)² + (10-2)² = 4² + 8² = 16 + 64 = 80，因此 AB = √80 = √16×5 = 4√5。除非题目另有说明，保留根式。
5. Linear Sequences and the nth Term | 线性数列与第 n 项
ith 4n. When n=1, 4×1 = 4, but the first term is 5, so we need +1. The nth term is 4n + 1.
标准的真题给出数列：5, 9, 13, 17, ... 并要求第 n 项。公差为 +4，因此项以 4n 开头。当 n=1 时，4×1 = 4，但第一项是 5，所以我们需要加 1。第 n 项为 4n + 1。
to check the 20th term: 4×20 + 1 = 81. This quick verification prevents arithmetic slips.
用第 n 项检验第 20 项：4×20 + 1 = 81。这种快速验算可防止计算错误。
rm -3n + 13. Notice that if n=1, -3+13=10, which matches. Always test with the first term.
当数列递减时，例如 10, 7, 4, 1, ...，公差为 -3，可得第 n 项 -3n + 13。注意当 n=1 时，-3+13=10，匹配。始终用第一项测试。
6. Angle Rules and Parallel Lines | 角度定理与平行线
erior angle. Since co-interior angles sum to 180°, the required angle = 180° - 110° = 70°.
图中显示两条平行线被一条截线所切，其中一个角标为 110°。求同旁内角。因为同旁内角之和为 180°，所求角度 = 180° - 110° = 70°。
Often, questions combine several rules: first use vertically opposite angles to identify equal angles, then use corresponding or alternate angles to find missing ones. Annotate the diagram with reasoning steps to avoid confusion.
题目常会组合多个定理：先用对顶角相等找出等角，再用同位角或内错角求未知角。在图上标注推理步骤，避免混淆。
a hexagon, that is 4×180° = 720°. If it is regular, each interior angle is 720°/6 = 120°.
在多边形中，n 边形的内角和为 (n-2)×180°。对于一个六边形，就是 4×180° = 720°。如果是正六边形，每个内角为 720°/6 = 120°。
7. Circles: Circumference and Area | 圆：周长与面积
s r = 7 cm, so C = 2 × π × 7 = 14π cm. Unless stated, leave π in the answer for exactness.
真题练习可能给出直径为 14 cm 的圆，并要求周长。使用 C = πd 或 2πr。这里半径 r = 7 cm，所以 C = 2 × π × 7 = 14π cm。除非题目说明，保留 π 以保持精确。
udents mistakenly use the diameter instead of the radius in the area formula. Always halve the diameter first.
面积公式：A = πr²。对于同一个圆，A = π × 7² = 49π cm²。注意：许多学生在面积公式中误用直径而非半径。务必先将直径减半。
or radius, e.g., area = 36π, then r²=36, so r=6 cm. Do not forget that radius is positive.
当题目给出面积而要求半径时，例如面积为 36π，则 r²=36，因此 r=6 cm。不要忘记半径取正值。
8. Surface Area and Volume of Prisms | 棱柱的表面积与体积
ism 15 cm. Volume = area of cross-section × length = (½ × 6 × 8) × 15 = 24 × 15 = 360 cm³.
WJEC 历年真题常出现三棱柱，其横截面是底为 6 cm、高为 8 cm 的直角三角形，棱柱长度为 15 cm。体积 = 横截面面积 × 长度 = (½ × 6 × 8) × 15 = 24 × 15 = 360 cm³。
ends: 2 × (½×6×8) = 48 cm². The three rectangular faces: the hypotenuse of the triangle is √6²+8² Their areas sum to (6+8+10)×15 = 24×15 = 360 cm². Total surface area = 48 + 360 = 408 cm².
求表面积时，需计算所有面的面积。两个三角形端面：2 × (½×6×8) = 48 cm²。三个矩形面：三角形的斜边为 √6²+8²=10 cm。所以矩形分别为 6×15、8×15 和 10×15。它们的面积和为 (6+8+10)×15 = 24×15 = 360 cm²。总表面积 = 48 + 360 = 408 cm²。
Always label units clearly; mixing cm and m is a common source of mark loss. WJEC examiners will check that area units are squared and volume units are cubed.
务必清晰标注单位；混淆 cm 和 m 是常见的失分原因。WJEC 考官会检查面积单位是否带平方，体积单位是否带立方。
9. Probability and Tree Diagrams | 概率与树状图
e diagram: first draw P(blue)=5/8, then second draw P(blue given first was blue)=4/7. Multiply along the branch: (5/8)×(4/7)=20/56=5/14.
典型题目：一个袋子有 3 个红球和 5 个蓝球。不放回地抽两个球。计算两个都是蓝球的概率。使用树状图：第一次抽到蓝球概率为 5/8，第二次抽到蓝球（在第一次是蓝球的条件下）为 4/7。沿分支相乘：(5/8)×(4/7)=20/56=5/14。
Many students forget that the denominator changes on the second draw. Always write the 'without replacement' condition explicitly and update totals.
许多学生忘记第二次抽取时分母会变化。要明确写出“不放回”的条件并更新总数。
When examining mutually exclusive events, like blue on first or red on second, break into branches and add the probabilities of the desired outcomes. Avoid double-counting by drawing a systematic table.
当考察互斥事件时，比如第一次抽到蓝球或第二次抽到红球，要按分支拆分并将所求结果的概率相加。通过绘制系统的表格避免重复计算。
10. Averages and Spread | 平均数与离散程度
83. Order the data: 4, 6, 7, 9, 9, 12. Median = (7+9)/2 = 8. Mode = 9. Range = 12 - 4 = 8.
数据集：7, 9, 4, 9, 12, 6 来自 WJEC 计算器试卷。求平均数、中位数、众数和极差。平均数 = (7+9+4+9+12+6)÷6 = 47÷6 ≈ 7.83。将数据排序：4, 6, 7, 9, 9, 12。中位数 = (7+9)/2 = 8。众数 = 9。极差 = 12 - 4 = 8。
Examiners highlight that mean should be given to at least one decimal place if not exact, and median must be found after ordering. Using a frequency table for larger datasets saves time and reduces errors.
考官强调，平均数若不精确应至少保留一位小数，且中位数必须在排序后获取。对于较大的数据集使用频率表，可节省时间并减少错误。
l mean = (30×6.2 + 20×7.8) ÷ 50 = (186+156)÷50 = 6.84. Never simply average the two means.
在 WJEC 进阶数学中，你可能会遇到组合平均数的问题：两组数据分别有平均数 6.2（容量 30）和 7.8（容量 20）。总平均数 = (30×6.2 + 20×7.8) ÷ 50 = (186+156)÷50 = 6.84。千万不要直接将两个平均数取平均。
11. Ratio, Proportion and Scale | 比、比例与比例尺
on the map, real distance = 8.5 × 25000 = 212500 cm = 2125 m = 2.125 km. Convert sensibly.
比例尺 1:25000 表示地图上 1 cm 代表实际 25000 cm（250 m）。如果地图上两镇相距 8.5 cm，实际距离 = 8.5 × 25000 = 212500 cm = 2125 m = 2.125 km。合理进行单位转换。
In sharing a prize of £360 in the ratio 3:5:2, total parts = 10. Each part = £36. The shares are 3×36 = £108, 5×36 = £180, 2×36 = £72. Always check the sum equals the original total.
在按 3:5:2 的比例分配 360 英镑奖金时，总份数 = 10。每份 = 36 英镑。各份额为 3×36 = 108 英镑，5×36 = 180 英镑，2×36 = 72 英镑。务必检查总和等于原总数。
Direct proportion questions often involve recipes or currency. If 4 pens cost £5.20, then 10 pens cost (10÷4)×5.20 = 2.5×5.20 = £13.00. Use the unitary method: find price of one item first.
正比例问题常涉及食谱或货币。如果 4 支笔售价 5.20 英镑，那么 10 支笔价格为 (10÷4)×5.20 = 2.5×5.20 = 13.00 英镑。使用单价法：先求一个物品的价格。
12. Pythagoras' Theorem and Simple Trigonometry | 勾股定理与简单三角学
cm, the WJEC paper asks for the hypotenuse h. h² = 6² + 9² = 36 + 81 = 117, so h = √117 = √9×13 = 3√13 cm. Simplify the surd fully.
给定一直角边长为 6 cm 和 9 cm 的直角三角形，WJEC 试卷要求斜边 h。h² = 6² + 9² = 36 + 81 = 117，因此 h = √117 = √9×13 = 3√13 cm。务必将根式完全化简。
osite = 10 × sin 30° = 10 × 0.5 = 5 cm. Know exact trig values for 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°.
如果一个角为 30° 且斜边为 10
