Further Mathematics

Course summary

AS Level Students who choose to study AS Level Further Mathematics will study the whole of Mathematics (see separate page) in Year 12 across two timetable blocks. Once this has been completed, students will then start to study Further Mathematics, made up of Core Pure Mathematics 1 plus two other options from Further Pure 1, Further Pure 2, Further Mechanics 1, Further Mechanics 2, Further Statistics 1, Further Statistics 2, Decision Mathematics 1 and Decision Mathematics 2 – this decision is based upon the strengths and future aspirations of those studying the course. There will be two examinations that are both 1 hour 40 mins long. Occasionally, Year 13 students choose to study AS Further Mathematics each year with their peers to achieve an additional AS Level. A Level Students will study Core Pure Mathematics 1 and 2 and extended versions of the two options that have been started for the AS course. There will be four examinations that are all 1 hour 30 mins long.
