Mathematics and Sciences Diploma Exams
- As the diploma exams are a cumulative examination of the student's understanding of an entire course progression, e.g. Biology 20 (Grade 11)- Biology 30 (Grade 12), topics covered in the grade 11-level course do appear in the grade 12 diploma examination. However, these concepts take less prominence then grade 12 topics, and thus require a more generalized understanding. An example of this is using the basic concepts of Circular Motion and Gravity covered in Physics 20 or Chemical Bonding and Structures in Chemistry 20.

Famous quotes containing the words mathematics, sciences, diploma and/or exams:
“Why does man freeze to death trying to reach the North Pole? Why does man drive himself to suffer the steam and heat of the Amazon? Why does he stagger his mind with the mathematics of the sky? Once the question mark has arisen in the human brain the answer must be found, if it takes a hundred years. A thousand years.”
—Walter Reisch (1903–1963)
“All cultural change reduces itself to a difference of categories. All revolutions, whether in the sciences or world history, occur merely because spirit has changed its categories in order to understand and examine what belongs to it, in order to possess and grasp itself in a truer, deeper, more intimate and unified manner.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“Our father has an even more important function than modeling manhood for us. He is also the authority to let us relax the requirements of the masculine model: if our father accepts us, then that declares us masculine enough to join the company of men. We, in effect, have our diploma in masculinity and can go on to develop other skills.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“I know that if I’d had to go and take an exam for acting, I wouldn’t have got anywhere. You don’t take exams for acting, you take your courage.”
—Dame Edith Evans (1888–1976)
