For test-material the Swedish National Agency of Education generically refers to the regulation of secrecy according to Chapter 4, Section 3 of the Secrecy Act. The intention is for this test to be used until 2010-12-31. This should be considered when determining the applicability of the Official Secrets Act.

NATIONAL TEST IN MATHEMATICS COURSE A Autumn 2000 Part II

Instructions Test period Tools Part II 180 minutes for Part I and Part II. We recommend that you leave 50 minutes to solve problem number 9. Calculator, formula sheet and ruler. Part II includes 9 items. For most items a single answer is not enough. It is also expected that you write down what you do that you explain your line of reasoning so that is easy to follow that you draw clear figures when needed. For some items only an answer is required. They are marked with, Only answer is required. After every item is given the maximum mark your solution can receive. (2/3) means that the item can give 2 g-points (Pass level) and 3 vg-points (Pass with distinction level). Items marked with give you a possibility to show MVG-quality (Pass with special distinction quality). This means e g that you use M1: generalised methods, models and reasoning, that you M2: analyse your results and M5: present a clear line of thought in a correct mathematical language. Item number 8 is a larger item that demands a longer time to solve than other items. It is important that you make a try to solve this item. Above the item is written what the teacher has to consider at the assessment. Mark limits The test (Part I + Part II) gives a total maximum of 62 points, out of which 33 are VG-points. Lower limits for examination grade: Pass (G): Pass with distinction : Pass with special distinction: 17 points. 33 points of which at least 12 VG points. Besides requirements for VG, you must have at least 20 VG-points. In addition you must demonstrate several of the MVG-qualities that are possible to show in the questions marked .
