This Level 3 in Mathematical Studies aims to build on the knowledge, understanding and skills gained at GCSE Mathematics. You will study a variety of different aspects within Mathematics to support you whilst undertaking further study at A Level in other subjects. In addition, the course will provide an overview of how Mathematics is used in a real-world context. This will include the topics of Analysis of Data, Mathematics for Personal Finance, Estimation and Critical Analysis of Mathematical data and models. You will also be able to choose an option for study. The options include either the study of Statistical distributions and Correlation, work on Critical Path Analysis and Probability or the use of Graphs for Rates of Change and Exponential functions.
a minimum of five (I)GCSEs at grade 6 / B and 3 at grade 5 / C.
There are two examination papers which are each worth 50% of the final mark. Paper 1 will cover: Analysis of Data (use of sampling techniques and the representation of data with the use of averages), Mathematics for Personal Finance (includes income tax, National Insurance and Loan/APR calculations) and Estimations. Examination lasts 1 hour 30 minutes. Paper 2 is the optional paper: You will choose one paper from 2A, 2B or 2C. Examination lasts 1 hour 30 minutes. Paper 2A will cover: Critical Analysis of Mathematical information, the Normal distribution, Confidence intervals and Correlation and Regression lines. Paper 2B will cover: Critical Analysis of Mathematical information, Critical Path analysis, Expectation and Probability, and Cost Benefit principles. Paper 2C will cover: Critical Analysis of Mathematical information, Graphical methods (sketching and solving equations), Rates of change and Exponential Growth with the use of logarithms.
