Students will cover pure, statistics and mechanics. The course is designed to build upon the Higherlevel material covered at GCSE, with students looking at more complex sequences, index laws, trigonometric graphs, simultaneous equations and algebraic functions. The course also looks at differentiation and integration within pure mathematics. Statistics looks at hypothesis testing, probability and the normal distribution and is a follow on from the statistics covered at GCSE. The mechanics component links to the material covered in Physics AS/A level, and looks at vectors, kinematics, Newton’s Laws and friction.
At least a grade 8 at GCSE Higher level. Due to the nature of the course, students whose predicted grade is less than 8 will struggle with the full A level course. GCSE points score 42.
3 x 2 hour written papers (all equal weighting): Paper 1: Core Paper 2: Core and Statistics Paper 3: Core and Mechanics
