The mechanics module will include topics such as vectors, straight line motion, forces and moments. The decision module will included topics such as linear programming, sorting and route inspection.

In order to qualify for the A2 course we expect you to achieve a pass at AS level including passes in both of the core modules.

A2 Level
You will study a further two pure maths modules and one more applied maths module. The pure maths modules will include topics such as partial fractions, vectors, calculus and functions The applied modules will generally follow on from the modules that you studied at AS level. However, there may be an opportunity to study a module in decision maths.

Each of the units is examined by a 1.5 hour exam. You will sit one exam in January and two exams in June in Year 13.

To be successful on this course, you will need to be hardworking and diligent, as each unit builds on earlier work. There is plenty of additional support provided to help students with the transition from GCSE to AS level.
