A student will enjoy this course if they are analytical, a problem solver and mathematics come naturally to them. A Level Further Mathematics is usually only taken if the student is planning to study Mathematics at university. Papers 1 and 2 – Core Pure Mathematics (50%) Pupils taking Further Mathematics will complete A Level Mathematics during the Lower Sixth and start A Level Further Mathematics at the beginning of the Upper Sixth. An advanced look at mathematical topics needed for Mathematics at university. Paper 3 – Further Pure Mathematics 1 (25%) A delve into advanced pure topics such as Differential calculus, Conics and Sequences. Paper 4 – Option topic (25%) This paper is chosen as a consensus between the class towards the end of the Lower Sixth. Pupils have the opportunity to study one of Further Pure Mathematics 2, Further Statistics 1 or Further Mechanics 1.
A GCSE grade at Level 8 or higher. You should also have some experience in some mathematics beyond the GCSE course. A GCSE in Physics would be beneficial, but not required.
