CSCA Mathematics Syllabus Overview
The CSCA Mathematics examination is organized into four main content modules:
Module 1 — Sets and Inequalities
This module covers the foundations of sets and inequalities.
You will study:
- definitions and representation of sets;
- operations involving sets;
- properties of inequalities;
- solving quadratic inequalities;
- solving rational inequalities.
Module 2 — Functions
This is a broad module covering functions and several related mathematical topics.
You will study:
- domain and range;
- monotonicity and parity;
- power functions;
- exponential functions;
- logarithmic functions;
- trigonometric functions;
- arithmetic sequences;
- geometric sequences;
- general terms and sums of sequences;
- basic concepts of derivatives;
- geometric meaning of derivatives;
- simple applications of calculus.
Module 3 — Geometry and Algebra
This module combines analytic geometry, vectors, complex numbers, and solid geometry.
You will study:
- lines and their equations;
- circles;
- ellipses;
- hyperbolas;
- parabolas;
- vector operations;
- basic operations with complex numbers;
- three-dimensional coordinate systems;
- properties of simple solids.
Module 4 — Probability and Statistics
This module introduces basic probability and statistical concepts.
You will study:
- classical probability models;
- probability calculations;
- mean;
- variance;
- basic concepts of the normal distribution.
What This Means for Your Preparation
Your CSCA Mathematics course will follow these four official syllabus areas systematically.
You should aim to:
- understand the fundamental concepts;
- learn the required formulas and methods;
- develop efficient problem-solving skills;
- practise single-answer multiple-choice questions;
- combine accuracy with speed.
Important: The official syllabus identifies the content areas but does not specify a fixed number of examination questions for each module. Therefore, you should prepare all four modules thoroughly.
