(3) focusing solely on two internal achievement standards. 

Regardless of the chosen pathway, successful completion of 11SMA ensures students not only enhance their mathematical proficiency but also attain thorough preparation for the numeracy corequisite assessment, equipping them with essential skills for future academic pursuits.
