Why choose this subject? • Students taking Further Mathematics overwhelmingly find it to be an enjoyable, rewarding, stimulating, and empowering experience. • For someone who enjoys mathematics, it provides a challenge and a chance to explore new and more sophisticated mathematical concepts. • Students who take Further Mathematics find that the additional time spent studying mathematics boosts their marks in single A-level Mathematics. • It makes the transition from sixth form to university courses which are mathematically rich that much easier as more of the first-year course content will be familiar. • It enables students to distinguish themselves as able mathematicians in their applications for university and future employment.
The course is assessed through exams only with 4 exams taken for a full A-Level at the end of the 2 year course. Paper 1 covers all Further Pure Mathematics with Papers 2, 3 and 4 giving options of topics including an extension of Further Pure Mathematics, Further Statistics and Discrete. Paper 1 is worth 144 marks (50%) and is a 2-hour 40-minute exam with Papers 2, 3 and 4 all worth 60 marks each (16 2/3%) and are 1 hour 15-minute exams.
