Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A vector is represented by the column vector (3, -5). What is the magnitude of this vector?

  1. √34
  2. 8
  3. 2
  4. √8
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A√34
Award 1 mark for correct answer. Magnitude = √(3² + (-5)²) = √(9 + 25) = √34. B is incorrect — student has added components instead of using Pythagoras. C is incorrect — student has subtracted components. D is incorrect — student has only considered one component or made calculation error.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A shipping company in Kingston, Jamaica uses vectors to track cargo movements. A container is moved 8 km east then 6 km north. Which vector represents the resultant displacement from the starting point?

  1. (8, 6)
  2. (6, 8)
  3. (14, 0)
  4. (2, 2)
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A(8, 6)
Award 1 mark for correct answer. Taking east as positive x-direction and north as positive y-direction, the displacement is 8 units in x and 6 units in y, giving (8, 6). B is incorrect — components are reversed. C is incorrect — student has added magnitudes incorrectly. D is incorrect — subtraction error.

CXC CSEC Mathematics: Vectors and Matrices FAQ

How many CXC CSEC Mathematics questions on Vectors and Matrices are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 20 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Vectors and Matrices for CXC CSEC Mathematics, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real CXC paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for CXC CSEC students preparing for Mathematics?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Vectors and Matrices practice with other Mathematics topics or even switch to a totally different CXC subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Vectors and Matrices questions aligned to the official CXC CSEC Mathematics syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC Mathematics specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CXC.
How is Vectors and Matrices typically tested on CXC CSEC Mathematics papers?
Vectors and Matrices appears across multiple question types on real CXC CSEC Mathematics papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
