Mathematics

Assessment

The course is assessed externally through three written exam papers sat at the end of the two years, each lasting two hours. There is no coursework element to any Mathematics A level. Paper 1 – Pure Mathematics. Paper 2 – Pure and Mechanics. Paper 3 – Pure and Statistics The statistics element in all A level Mathematics courses involves a pre-released, ‘real’ data set that students must become familiar with. This includes the use of technology to support the analysis. All level 3 Mathematics exams will require students to demonstrate three overarching skills throughout the papers: 1. Mathematical argument, language and proof 2. Mathematical problem solving 3. Mathematical Modelling
