32 content lessons covering every Specific Objective in the CXC CSEC Additional Mathematics syllabus, plus 5 exam-preparation lessons (including Paper 032) with a timed mock paper and 2 SBA project lessons. Every lesson has a narrated explainer video with worked examples, key notes, Paper 1 and Paper 2 style practice, and a readiness score — no login, no install.
Each lesson’s readiness = video watched (20%) + best multiple-choice score (40%) + self-marked structured answers (40%). Paper 1 readiness = content lessons (50%) + Paper 1 mock (30%) + lesson E1 (20%). Paper 2 = content lessons (60%) + Paper 2 mock, lesson E2 (40%). Paper 3 (SBA) = SBA project lessons (60%) + Paper 03 and Paper 032 lessons E3–E5 (40%). Overall = Paper 1 × 30% + Paper 2 × 50% + Paper 3 × 20%, the same weights as CSEC Additional Mathematics (30 / 50 / 20). Progress is saved in this browser only.
102 quick games across the lessons — sort, sequence, match and Myth or Fact — plus the Additional Mathematics Arcade. Win XP to level up and unlock badges. Games are practice for fun: they do not change your exam readiness.
| Paper | What it is | Time | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paper 01 | 45 multiple-choice items: 15 on Section 1, 15 on Section 2, 10 on Section 3 and 5 on Section 4 (45 marks weighted to 60) | 1 h 30 min | 30% |

How each CSEC Additional Mathematics paper works, exam technique, a full timed Paper 01 mock with 45 items, and Paper 032 preparation with 30-mark extended-response practice.
How Paper 01 is built, how its 45 items spread over the four sections, techniques for checking answers by substitution, estimation and elimination, and a timed 45-item mock exam.
How Paper 02 is built, how its 100 marks are split between conceptual knowledge, algorithmic knowledge and reasoning, how to set out working, and a self-marked mini mock across three sections.
How the School-Based Assessment is marked, the difference between Project A and Project B, how Paper 031 and Paper 032 are weighted, and a self-marked practice evaluating a project plan.
How the 30-mark Paper 032 question is built from several topics, what “formulate” means, how conceptual, algorithmic and reasoning marks are awarded, and a full practice question with tagged marks.
Two more 30-mark Paper 032 style questions with tagged marks — a calculus optimisation of a cylindrical can, and a lighthouse problem using a circle, a line and the discriminant.
