You will continue to study some topics familiar to you from GCSE, such as algebra and trigonometry, and you will also be introduced to new ones like calculus. Your study of maths will be divided up into two areas, Pure Maths and Applied Maths. There is no coursework, but a mathematical comprehension forms part of the assessment at A Level. Mathematical processes consisting of mathematical argument and language, problem solving and mathematical modelling are embedded throughout the AS and A Level courses. Students will study the AS Further Maths specification but in general will not take the AS Further Maths exam at the end of the first year. They study three components; pure maths, mechanics and statistics. Most students will progress to A Level Further Maths in the second year. There is also an option for second year students to take AS Further Maths.
A minimum of 4 subjects at grade 5 or above at GCSE plus English Language at grade 4 or above. You must also have a grade 6 in Maths.
All AS and A Level Maths qualifications are assessed by examinations which take place each year in May and June. They vary in length according to each qualification. The two components at AS Level are 1hr 30mins each and the three components at A Level are 2hrs each. Further Maths exams range in length from 1hr 15mins to 2hr 40mins.
