Mathematical Studies

Assessment

Internally: Students will be given regular homework and project-based tasks to demonstrate their understanding of the course content. Externally: You are required to sit two exams at the end of the course, to be awarded a level 3 certificate in mathematics (equivalent to an AS). Both examinations cover materials from all four strands of the course. The first paper is a comprehension paper and worth 40% of the total qualification, paper 2 is an application paper and worth 60% of the total qualification. Both examinations will take place during the summer examination period. Each exam is 1 hour and 40 minutes long and all exams are marked externally.
