An overview of the GCSE Maths learning objectives that relate to this particular topic area. The expectation is that:
- All students will develop confidence and competence with the content identified by standard type
- All students will be assessed on the content identified by the standard and the underlined type; more highly attaining students will develop confidence and competence with all of this content
- Only the more highly attaining students will be assessed on the content identified by bold type. The highest attaining students will develop confidence and competence with the bold content.
- P7
- Construct theoretical possibility spaces for single and combined experiments with equally likely outcomes and use these to calculate theoretical probabilities
- P8
- Calculate the probability of independent and dependent combined events, including using tree diagrams and other representations, and know the underlying assumptions

The lovely Mel from JustMaths has put together themed collections of questions taken from the awarding bodies’ sample assessment materials and practise papers. These should give you a clearer idea of how content may be presented and the increased level of challenge. Where possible, answers are also provided.
