Level Mathematics encompasses several different topics throughout the two-year program of study. Along with a wide range of Pure Mathematics topics, students will also study Statistics and Mechanics. Pure Mathematics topics are Proof, Algebra, and functions, coordinate geometry, Sequences and series, Trigonometry, Exponentials and Logarithms, Calculus, Numerical Methods, and Vectors. Statistics topics are Sampling, Data presentation and interpretation, Probability, Distributions, and Hypothesis testing. Mechanics topics are Quantiles and units in mechanics, Kinematics, Forces, and Newton’s Laws and Moments. Mathematics is highly thought of by many universities as it demonstrates logical thinking and analytical skills. The Mathematics Department also caters to those students who wish to take SMC (UKMT Senior Maths Challenge), STEP (Sixth Term Examination Papers), and other mathematical-based university entrance examinations.
9-4 grades (or equivalent) in at least five GCSE subjects (please note that double awards, BTECs etc. are still counted by subject). A minimum of grade 4 (or equivalent) in both GCSE English and Mathematics. A minimum of GCSE grade 7 in Mathematics for A-level Mathematics (or A-level Further Mathematics).
There is no coursework involved in this specification. There are three examinations with each examination paper being 2 hours in duration. The papers are all out of 100 marks and are equally weighted, with each paper being worth 33⅓%. Papers 1 and 2 are Pure Mathematics only. The Statistics and Mechanics is assessed only in Paper 3.
