Core Maths is a newly developed one-year qualification, carrying the same number of UCAS points as an AS Level. This Level 3 Certificate in Mathematical Studies is beneficial to students in maintaining their mathematical skills from GCSE and developing these skills further. It supports students well for progression to future study or employment that requires skills in quantitative reasoning and critical analysis.
You will need to have a Grade 5 or above in GCSE Maths to be accepted onto the course. Students with a Grade 4 will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. This course is unique as it is a one-year qualification, meaning that you can study Core Maths in Year 12 or Year 13. Since Core Maths is designed to support the study of other A Level subjects, it is studied alongside your A Levels, meaning that it is taken as a fourth subject. Students will need to purchase the Casio Fx-991EX calculator for the course.
This is a one-year qualification with two exams at the end (no coursework). Each exam lasts 1 hour 30 minutes. Paper 1 – Analysis of data, personal finance and estimation. Paper 2 – Correlation and regression, normal distribution and confidence intervals. Preliminary Material – Both papers require using real-world figures and information to critically analyse and evaluate.
