Mathematics (Further)

Assessment

You will be studying the specifications offered by the EDEXCEL examination board. The course is divided into Pure and Applied Mathematics modules. For A Level you will complete two Pure Mathematics papers and two Applied Mathematics papers, each one contributing towards a quarter of your final grade. Examinations will be sat at the end of the second year of study. Calculators may be used in all module examinations. The specification is designed to encourage the appropriate use of graphical calculators and computers as tools by which teaching and learning of Mathematics may be enhanced. Calculators must have the ability to perform iterative functions and the ability to compute summary statistics and access probabilities from standard statistical distributions. We would encourage you to speak to your Mathematics teacher about the appropriate models of calculator.
