In Further Maths 50% of the A-level content is Further Pure Mathematics. The remainder of the content is made up of options which include: Additional Pure Mathematics, Additional Statistics, Additional Mechanics (all of which are studied in A Level Maths), and Decision Mathematics. Although we do not enter students for the AS examination, AS content is taught during Year 12 and then built on in Year 13. Further Mathematics is highly regarded and warmly welcomed by universities. Students who take Further Mathematics are demonstrating a strong commitment to their studies, as well as learning concepts that are very useful for any mathematically rich degree. Some prestigious university courses require you to have a Further Mathematics qualification and others may adjust their grade requirements more favorably to students if they have studied the course. If you are not planning to study for mathematically-rich degrees but are keen on the subject, you will find Further Mathematics a very enjoyable course, and qualifying identifies you as having excellent analytical skills, whatever area you are considering for a career.
Grade 7 in Maths. Students must also study A-level Maths.
The course is assessed at the end of Year 13. Paper 1 (25%) – Core Pure Mathematics 1; 1 hour 30 minutes. Paper 2 (25%) – Core Pure Mathematics 2; 1 hour 30 minutes. Paper 3 (25%) – Further Mathematics Option 1; 1 hour 30 minutes. Options: Further Pure Mathematics 1, Further Statistics 1, Further Mechanics 1, or Decision. Mathematics 1. Paper 4 (25%) – Further Mathematics Option 2; 1 hour 30 minutes Options: Further Pure Mathematics 2, Further Statistics 1, Further Mechanics 1, Decision Mathematics 1, Further Statistics 2, Further Mechanics 2, or Decision Mathematics 2.
