For example, 13 000 candidates could not measure and state the length of a given line nor determine the measure of an angle. • Completion of programmes such as CCSLC would provide solid foundation www.cxc.org

  6. CSEC Trends and Highlights – Region CSEC ADDITIONAL MATHEMATICS • Second examination in this subject at CSEC • Candidate population increased by 69% (Approximately 3000) • A platform for success at CAPE Pure Mathematics • Approximately 70% at Grades I – III with and 27% at Grade I • Expect this type of performance since it includes outstanding students enrolled in CSEC Mathematics www.cxc.org

  7. CSEC Trends and Highlights – Region CSEC CARIBBEAN HISTORY • Candidate population has not grown • Performance remained consistent with 71% earning Grades I – III. www.cxc.org
