Further Mathematics, as its name implies, goes beyond the requirements of the Mathematics A-level, both in depth and breadth and is only suitable for students who have shown a real flair and enthusiasm for Mathematics at both GCSE and Further Mathematics GCSE levels. It is only o ered alongside Mathematics and is therefore taken as a fourth A-level. Those considering highly mathematical courses at Oxford, Cambridge or other top universities would benefit from studying Further Mathematics. There are three areas studied as part of the A-level course: • Core Mathematics (half of the course) • Decision Mathematics (one-quarter of the course) • Further Mechanics (one-quarter of the course)
Grade 8 in GCSE Mathematics, in addition to a grade 7 or above in Further Mathematics GCSE, if o ered by your School.
A-level Further Mathematics is assessed through four 90-minute papers at the end of Sixth Form. Papers 1 and 2 consist of content from Core Mathematics. Paper 3 consists of content from Decision Mathematics, and Paper 4 consists of content from Further Mechanics.
