The new linear Further Mathematics A-Level again comprises of compulsory Pure Mathematics (50% of content), but there is some choice for the remaining 50%, including Further Pure, Further Mechanics, Further Statistics or Decision Mathematics. Decision Mathematics introduces the ideas and methods used for decision making in business and industry. It involves a good deal of numerical work using rules or algorithms together with diagrams or networks. Decision Mathematics is used to solve practical problems in real life situations such as the scheduling of tasks required to build a new supermarket.
An assessment day is held at Queenswood in the November prior to entry. Applicants are required to sit entrance examinations in the subjects that they plan to study at A-level. We do not stipulate particular GCSE requirements, although Queenswood Sixth Formers will typically have achieved at least six Grade 6 results at GCSE, with Grades 7–9 in the subjects to be studied at A-level.
The Further Mathematics examinations will comprise four one-and-a-half-hour papers: two compulsory Further Pure papers, and two option papers for which there is some choice.
