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.
