A-level Maths is the single most popular A-level in the country. This A-level extends many of the topics you have met at GCSE, as well as introducing some very new ideas. This A-level is designed to support study in areas of science, economics and computing as well as stats heavy subjects like psychology, biology and geography. The A-Level Maths course is split into three sections: • The first and largest section is Pure Maths. This involves the development of a few familiar topics from GCSE like algebra and trigonometry. There will also be some new ideas like calculus, numerical methods, vectors and infinite series. • There is a small section on statistics which is about analysing data, working with probability and the formal testing of hypotheses. This section can be very useful if your career or future study involves data collection and analysis. • There is a small section on Mechanics – a crossover with Physics. This section governs the way things move and interact with each other, allowing you to model things like projectiles, rigid static objects and connected particles.
At least 5 GCSEs at Grade 4 or above all from the core subjects Course Specific Entry Requirement: Minimum Requirement - GCSE Grade 6 in Maths (this may require some extra catch up work) Recommended Requirements - GCSE grade 7 in Maths and coverage of the whole of the higher maths GCSE course.
A-level Maths is an exam only subject. There are three exams with each paper being two hours long. Two of these papers are on Pure Maths with the third being an even split of Stats and Mechanics.
