The course consists of three modules with the examinations taken at the end of the two-year course. Mathematics helps us to not only understand the world around us but also provides us with the knowledge and skills to be able to change it. The use of mathematics can be found in many aspects of our everyday lives. Studying A level mathematics encourages logical thought and an analytical approach to solving problems. This, coupled with the need to work confidently and accurately when dealing with numerical calculations, demonstrates many of the core skills that employers are now seeking in an increasingly competitive employment market.
A grade 8 in mathematics at GCSE should be considered a pre-requisite for embarking on the A level mathematics course. Ability to cope well with all GCSE algebra is a main requirement for coping well with the course. Particular topics which are important to have mastered prior to taking A level mathematics are: • Quadratics • Surds • Algebraic fractions
Assessment takes the form of three 2 hour written assessments and are split accordingly: • Paper 1: Pure Maths 1 (33.33% of A level) • Paper 2: Pure Maths 2 (33.33% of A level) • Paper3: Statistics and Mechanics (33.33% of A level)
