This course is appropriate for students who enjoy the more pure and abstract elements of mathematics as well as problem solving in real world contexts. This course contains elements of pure mathematics such as algebra and trigonometry and fewer applied maths topics in statistics and modelling than the applications and interpretations course and is slightly more similar in content to the mathematics A-level. A student who enjoys algebra and pure mathematics would be well-suited to this course. The course is offered at standard and higher levels. Students wishing to progress to a university subject requiring A-level maths (eg physics, engineering, mathematics) will usually need to take the HL option.
A mixture of at least 7 GCSEs at Grades 9 - 6 including English, Maths and Science.
All subjects have some form of coursework or internal assessment component and most have final examinations. The weightings of the coursework vary between subject and level so please refer to the subject guides in this booklet for specifics, however students have a significant amount of freedom over topics, questions and research. Some of the coursework is assessed via 121 oral or presentation work. All final external written exams take place in May of year two and the results are published in July (6 weeks before the A-level results!). We also hold internal exams in May of year one and January of year two.
