AS Level
You will study two pure maths modules and one applied maths module.
The pure maths modules will include topics such as algebra,
trigonometry, basic calculus and coordinate geometry. The applied
maths module will be chosen from either statistics, mechanics or
decision. This choice will be based on your other A level subjects,
your career aspirations and the results of your skills check.
The statistics module will include topics such as descriptive
statistics, probability, normal distribution and correlation &
regression. 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
