These are similar to Advanced level Mathematics but the ideas and techniques are generally more advanced. Further Mathematics is particularly recommended for anyone considering studying Mathematics, Engineering, Physics or related subjects at University. The details below relate to the course taught at Southam College. Both AS and A level Further Mathematics have a simple 50:50 split between compulsory and optional elements. The compulsory element is Further Pure Mathematics which looks at more advanced algebraic techniques than that undertaken in the single Mathematic course. The optional element of the course is made up of two of the following options: Further Pure, Further Statistics, Further Mechanics or Decision Mathematics.
- GCSE Grade 7 in Mathematics (higher level) and 85% or above in the Head Start September assessment - The minimum general requirements for Sixth Form entry are a minimum of 5 GCSE Grade 4s including English and Maths.
The specification followed does not have a coursework element and is fully assessed by a written examination paper taken in June in the following structure: - AS Assessment Paper 1: Further Pure Mathematics – 1 hour 40 minutes (80 marks) Paper 2: Further Mathematics Option – 1 hour 40 minutes (80 marks) - A-Level Assessment Paper 1: Further Pure Mathematics 1 – 1 hour 30 minutes (75 marks) Paper 2: Further Pure Mathematics 2 – 1 hour 30 minutes (75 marks) Paper 3: Further Mathematics Option 1 – 1 hour 30 minutes (75 marks) Paper 4: Further Mathematics Option 2 – 1 hour 30 minutes (75 marks)
