Mathematics (Further)

Assessment

The first three units must be passed before progressing to the remaining units. The units with written examinations will include at least one mock” examination before the external examination. Portfolio work is ongoing through most of the course with regular submission deadlines. Final Exam Format: Four equally weighted written papers each of 90 minutes. There is no coursework. All papers are to be sat on completion of the course and all must be sat within the same examination season (no individual paper resits are permitted). Self-Study Requirements: Each taught hour will require a minimum of an additional two hours of self-study (split between supervised study in school and homework). Teaching staff will give guidance as to the material to be covered or completed and associated deadlines. Progression Pathways: A-Level Further Mathematics supports a wide range of university-level Mathematics courses and also supports an even wider range of science, engineering, economics, business studies, and computer science courses (and indeed may be an essential requirement for certain courses/universities).
