Using and understanding data is becoming increasingly important in many areas of study and employment. Understanding of statistics is a crucial skill, and this course aims to give students the tools needed to help them prepare for higher education and the workplace. This course will help students to develop the skills of statistical enquiry, and practise the underpinning of statistical calculations and interpretation using real-world data and authentic contexts. It supports skills development for progression to a range of other subjects and develops an awareness of statistics beyond the classroom. AS Statistics might appeal to the student seeking to pursue the study of a numerate post-16 subject but not wishing to study pure mathematics. It sits well with subjects such as Biology, Psychology, Geography, Business Studies and Economics. The emphasis is on using and applying statistics; appropriate interpretation of contexts and the outcomes of statistical procedures will be required. This qualification enables students to apply themselves and will give them the logical, problem-solving and numerical skills to succeed in their chosen pathway.
To be eligible for AS Statistics, students need to be predicted to achieve a grade 5 or above in GCSE Mathematics.
AS Statistics is a one-year course with external exams at the end of that year.
