Two thirds of the course is based on Pure Mathematics, covering concepts in Algebra, Calculus, Trigonometry and Geometry. The remaining part of the course works on Statistics (the maths of decision making in the face of uncertainty) and Mechanics (the maths of how to describe the world of forces and motion).
Students who achieve a grade 7 or higher are more likely to be prepared and able to access the A-level course. Students who achieve Grade 6 at higher level are likely to need more preparation to cope with the transition between GCSE and A level and will be expected to commit more time outside of lessons, especially in the first term.
There are 3 exams of 2 hours, all at the end of Year 13. The first two assess the Pure Mathematics and the final exam assesses the Statistics and Mechanics.
