This course is divided into five standards which are all internally assessed. 

The areas of study are Critical path analysis, Linear Programming, Solving systems of equations, Bivariate data investigations, Time series investigations. 

The investigation topics require students to be self-regulated in their approach to learning, to help prepare for tertiary study.
