Spoken Language (terms, theories, stages, etc). ii. Written language (terms, theories, stages, phonics, IPA etc). (3) For each area of the course, revise terminology, concepts, issues, theories etc (see overleaf). Booklets provide a very good starting point + VLE and links to helpful resources and sites.

We have broadly classified our target customers as belonging to 2 groups on the basis of population as recommend by the Sixth Central Pay Commission of India in 2008. • Tier I cities: Population more than 4 million Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai • Tier II cities: Population between 1 million to 4 million Pune, Jaipur, Chandigarh, Calicut etc. The reason behind focusing on these two segments is...

...not plan to take STEP. The questions are all based on recent STEP questions. I chose the questions either because they are ‘nice’ – in the sense that you should get a lot of pleasure from tackling them – or because I felt I had something interesting to say about them. In this booklet, I have restricted myself (reluctantly) to the syllabus for Papers I and II, which is the A-level core (i.e. C1 to C4) with a few additions. This material should be familiar to you if you are taking the International Baccalaureate, Scottish Advanced Highers or other similar courses. The first two questions (the sample worked questions) are in a ‘stream of consciousness’ format. They are intended to give you an idea how a trained mathematician would think when tackling them. This approach is much too long-winded to sustain, but it should help you to see what sort of questions you should be asking yourself as you work through the later questions. I have given each of the subsequent questions a difficulty rating ranging from (∗) to (∗ ∗ ∗). A question labelled (∗) might be found on STEP I; a question labelled (∗∗) might be found on STEP II; a question labelled (∗ ∗ ∗) might be found on STEP III. But difficulty in mathematics is in the eye of the beholder: you might find a question difficult simply because you overlooked some key step, which on another day you would not have hesitated over. You should not therefore be discouraged if you are stuck on a one-star question; though you should probably...
