Papers 1 and 2: Pure Mathematics: Proof, Algebra and functions, Coordinate geometry in the (x, y) plane, Sequences and series, Trigonometry, Exponentials and logarithms, Differentiation, Integration, Numerical methods, and Vectors. Paper 3: Statistics: Sampling, Data presentation and interpretation, Probability, Statistical distributions, Statistical hypothesis testing. Mechanics: Quantities and units in mechanics, Kinematics, Forces and Newton’s laws, Moments. You will also learn how to apply mathematics in other fields of study and become aware of the relevance of mathematics to the world of work and to situations in society in general. Success in the subject depends upon the ability to understand concepts, solve problems independently and to use the language and notation of the subject correctly. Mathematics has wide applications in industry, business, finance, science, technology and many other subjects and mathematics qualifications can help you towards a career in these areas. Mathematics A Level is seen as a good preparation for almost any course in Higher Education and it will keep open a range of career options, including the Civil Service, Administration, Engineering, Accountancy, Banking, Computing, Medicine, Industrial Research and Business Management.
If you enjoy mathematics and feel confident with the work you have met so far at GCSE, then you should certainly consider Mathematics A Level. To gain a good grade at A Level Mathematics you will need to have achieved a grade 8 or 9 at GCSE. If you have a grade 7 then with hard work you should be able to take the course successfully. However, if you have a GCSE grade 6 or below you may struggle to get even a pass (an E) at A Level. It is important this is understood before you opt for the subject.
There are 3 exam papers: each lasts 2 hours and each is worth one third of the marks.
