Mathematics B (MEI) H640

Checked against OCR’s own H640 specification, version 3 (October 2025), on 21 August 2026. That copy was taken from the board itself on the day of the check rather than from a landing page. The H640 document remains the controlling text. The reference codes below are OCR’s; the short labels beside them are InkMaths summaries rather than OCR’s statement text. The section codes grouping them are ours rather than the board’s, because this qualification numbers its outcomes and not its content areas. Each row links to the relevant lessons and records full, partial or missing coverage.

This page is the content. For the examination itself, what each paper is worth and where OCR publishes them: OCR H640 past papers.

A-level Mathematics content is prescribed nationally. Use the table to check how each statement in this qualification maps to InkMaths; rows marked partial or not covered identify gaps.

Bearings are the setting MEI's note says may be required, and the whole apparatus a candidate needs for one, reading a three-figure bearing off a sketch, turning it into an interior angle of the triangle, and converting the answer back into a bearing, is absent even though the triangle work itself is complete.

Mc16Implicit differentiationImplicit and parametric differentiationCovered
Mc17Concave upwards and concave downwards sectionsTangents, turning points and curve behaviour, The trapezium ruleCovered except: The two names MEI's papers use are never printed. The lessons call a section with increasing gradient convex and a section with decreasing gradient concave, so a candidate who meets concave upwards in a question has been taught a word that reads as its opposite. This is not a synonym a reader can be left to work out, because the two vocabularies disagree about which section the bare word concave names.

Mc26Area between two curvesAreas, parametric curves and the limit of a sum, Definite integrals and areas, Volumes of revolutionCovered except: The second half of MEI's note is not taught at A level. No lesson finds the area between a curve and the y-axis by integrating with respect to y: the integral in the other variable appears only in the Further Mathematics volume-of-revolution lesson, and there it produces a volume rather than an area, so the reader is never shown a horizontal strip or the rewriting of the boundary as x in terms of y for an area question.

Mp23Random samplingSampling and the large data setCovered
Mp24A variety of sampling techniquesSampling and the large data setCovered except: Two of the seven techniques MEI lists are missing. Cluster sampling, where whole groups are drawn and everyone inside a chosen group is measured, is not described anywhere, and self-selected samples are not named as a category even though the bias they carry is discussed under other headings. A question naming either would find no answer in the library.

ST-DATA Data presentation and interpretation

9 of 14 covered in full, 5 with the gap named.

RefSpecification statementTaught inCoverage
MD1Types of data and standard single-variable diagramsRepresenting and interpreting data, Measures of location and spread, Correlation coefficients: product moment and SpearmanCovered except: Three items on MEI's own list are not taught. The pie chart is never drawn or read; the frequency chart, which MEI defines in its Notation cell as an equal-width histogram whose vertical axis carries frequency rather than density, is never named or distinguished from the histogram it resembles; and ranked data is not introduced as a data type at A level, appearing only where Further Statistics ranks values for a rank correlation coefficient.
MD2Area in a histogram and estimated probabilitiesRepresenting and interpreting data, The normal distributionCovered
MD3Cumulative frequency diagramsRepresenting and interpreting dataCovered
MD4Describing frequency distributionsRepresenting and interpreting dataCovered
MD5Sample diagrams and theoretical distributionsSampling and the large data set, The normal distribution, The Central Limit TheoremCovered except: The positive claim this row makes is never stated. No lesson says that the diagram of an unbiased sample comes to resemble the underlying probability distribution as the sample grows, and none shows the same experiment drawn at two sample sizes so that the convergence can be seen. The nearest thing in the library is about the distribution of the sample mean rather than about the shape of the sample itself.
MD6Scatter diagrams, regression lines and extrapolationCorrelation and regressionCovered
MD7Distinct sections and outliers in a scatter diagramCorrelation and regression, Representing and interpreting dataCovered
MD8Correlation and causationCorrelation and regressionCovered
MD9Selecting and critiquing data presentationRepresenting and interpreting data, Correlation and regressionCovered except: Time series are not covered. MEI adds graphs for time series to this row, and no lesson plots a quantity against time as a series or discusses what such a plot shows that a distribution diagram cannot, so a candidate asked to choose or criticise a display for data collected over time has nothing to draw on.
MD10Measures of central tendencyMeasures of location and spread, Representing and interpreting dataCovered except: Two items in MEI's note are absent. The midrange is not defined anywhere, and the weighted mean is not taught at all, so the example the board gives, combining group means using population sizes as weights, is a calculation no lesson performs.
MD11Simple measures of spreadMeasures of location and spread, Representing and interpreting dataCovered
MD12Variance and standard deviationMeasures of location and spread, Estimators, standard error and confidence intervalsCovered except: The divisor MEI fixes for this qualification is not the one the A-level lessons use. MEI defines sample variance and sample standard deviation with the n-minus-one divisor, cites the British and international standards for it, and says the usage will be consistent throughout the specification; the statistics lesson computes the spread with divisor n and calls that the standard deviation, and the n-minus-one version appears only in a Further Statistics lesson about estimating a population parameter. Separately, no lesson shows a reader how to get a mean and standard deviation out of a calculator's statistical functions, which this row asks for by name and which MEI's own note about differing manufacturer notation makes a real task.

MD14Cleaning dataRepresenting and interpreting data, Sampling and the large data setCovered

AKu2Complementary eventsProbability and Venn diagrams, The binomial distributionCovered
AKu3Expected frequency of an eventProbability and Venn diagrams, The binomial distribution, Goodness-of-fit testsCovered except: Expected frequency is not taught at A level. No lesson multiplies a number of trials by a probability to say how many occurrences to expect, and the product MEI prints in its Notation cell is never written down under that name; the only place a count times a probability appears is as the expected class counts of a chi-squared test in Further Statistics, which is a different question in a different context.

MR3Calculating binomial probabilitiesThe binomial distributionCovered
MR4The mean of the binomial distributionThe binomial distribution, The normal distributionCovered
MR5Expected frequencies for the binomialThe binomial distribution, Goodness-of-fit testsCovered except: No lesson turns a binomial probability into an expected count. The question this row is about, how many of a stated number of repetitions would be expected to give a particular result, is never asked at A level, and expected frequencies appear only as the theoretical counts of a chi-squared test in Further Statistics, arrived at for a different purpose and without being connected back to the binomial model here.
MR6Discrete probability distributionsThe binomial distributionCovered
MR7Simple distributions and the discrete uniformThe binomial distributionCovered
MR8The Normal distribution as a modelThe normal distributionCovered
MR9The shape of the Normal curveThe normal distributionCovered except: The second half of the row is not taught. No lesson says that histograms of larger and larger samples from a normal population approach the curve itself, and none draws the sequence of histograms that would show it, so the curve arrives as a given shape rather than as the limit of something a reader could collect.
MR10Linear transformation and standardisingThe normal distribution, Measures of location and spread, Combinations of normal random variablesCovered

MH8Testing a single mean with the Normal distributionHypothesis testing: correlation and the normal, The Central Limit TheoremCovered except: Only the first of MEI's two situations is taught. Every worked test uses a population variance the question supplies; no lesson carries out a mean test in the second situation the Notes cell allows, where the population variance is unknown and the sample is large enough for the sample's own standard deviation to stand in for it, and no lesson states that substitution or the condition under which it is safe.

2 of 4 covered in full, 2 with the gap named.

RefSpecification statementTaught inCoverage
Mk9The language of kinematics in two dimensionsKinematics with variable acceleration, Vectors in two dimensions, Kinematics with constant accelerationCovered except: The board's term relative position is never used and the idea is never brought into kinematics. The vectors lesson does teach the displacement from one point to another as the difference of their position vectors, but no lesson names that as the position of one body relative to another or applies it to two bodies in motion, so a candidate meeting the phrase in a question has to guess that it means the subtraction they already know.
Mk10Extending one-dimensional techniques with vectorsKinematics with variable acceleration, Kinematics with constant acceleration, ProjectilesCovered
Mk11The cartesian equation of a pathProjectiles, Parametric equationsCovered
Mk12Vectors in kinematics problemsKinematics with variable acceleration, Projectiles, Kinematics with constant acceleration, Vectors in two dimensionsCovered except: The two-body problem MEI's note prescribes is not worked anywhere. No lesson takes the positions of two particles as functions of time and forms the position of one relative to the other, so the questions this row is set up for, how far apart two bodies are at a given time and whether they meet, have no worked model in the library even though every piece of the method is taught separately.

RefSpecification statementTaught inCoverage
MF1The language of forcesForces and Newton's laws, Friction and inclined planes, Connected particles and pulleysCovered
MF2Gravitational accelerationModelling, quantities and units, Kinematics with constant acceleration, ProjectilesCovered except: The first sentence of the row is not taught. No lesson says that the acceleration due to gravity is not a universal constant or that it depends on where in the universe the body is; the lessons introduce the standard value as a value to use and treat its constancy as a modelling assumption without saying what the assumption is an approximation to.
MF3Force diagrams, external and internal forcesForces and Newton's laws, Connected particles and pulleysCovered
MF4Resultant of concurrent forces in simple casesForces and Newton's laws, Statics of a particleCovered
MF5Equilibrium of a particle in simple casesForces and Newton's laws, Statics of a particle, Connected particles and pulleysCovered

MF7Equilibrium as a zero resultantStatics of a particle, Forces and Newton's laws, Friction and inclined planesCovered
MF8Forces in equilibrium as a closed figureStatics of a particle, Vectors in two dimensions, Forces and Newton's lawsCovered except: The second sentence of the row is not taught. No lesson draws the force vectors nose to tail to show that a set of forces in equilibrium closes into a figure, and none states that a closed figure is what represents their addition, so the geometric picture behind this row exists in the library only for vectors in the abstract and is never carried across to forces.
MF9Solving equilibrium problems by resolving or by a polygonStatics of a particle, Friction and inclined planes, Connected particles and pulleysCovered except: Only one of the two methods the row names is taught. No lesson draws or uses a polygon of forces, and the triangle of forces MEI gives as its example, where three forces in equilibrium form a closed triangle that can be solved with the sine or cosine rule, appears nowhere, so a question that asks for that method by name cannot be answered from the library.
