Necessary and sufficient conditions

Free TMUA Paper 2 lesson. Problem-solving strategies, fully worked examples of the question types that keep coming up, common mistakes and a self-check.

What the lesson covers

  • The patterns to expect
  • What if, only if and iff really say
  • Necessary and sufficient: sets, and two one-way tests
  • Conditions on functions and shapes
  • Numbers, lists and solutions
  • Habits that win marks
  • Self-check questions with answers (8)

Specification: 2.1 if-then, iff, converse, contrapositive, necessary, sufficient. Section numbers are Heurisco's own, following the headings of the published TMUA specification.

How to use it

  1. Read a section, then cover the worked example and try it yourself.
  2. Check the common mistakes list: these are the slips the real test is built to catch.
  3. Do the self-check without looking back. Mark it against the answers.
  4. Then practise the topic under time, with the matching practice set.
