A level Further Mathematics is a separate A level that can be taken in addition to A level Mathematics. Two thirds of the content will be Further Pure and the remainder will be from options such as Mechanics, Statistics or Decision Mathematics. Further Mathematics takes the pure maths to a greater depth, introduces discrete maths and continues the study of statistics and mechanics. Further Mathematics is very much aimed at those students who are thinking of studying maths, or a subject which is maths ‘heavy’, at university. Further Mathematics cannot be taken by a student who is not also studying A level Mathematics. In Further Mathematics there is the option to sit the third examination on a combination of either Mechanics and Statistics, Mechanics and Discrete or Statistics and Discrete. With Further Maths there is also the option for students to complete the AS part of the course and sit the AS exams at the end of Year 12 if they feel studying Further Maths as a 4th option is proving too much.
GCSE Maths at level 7 with and average GCSE point score of 7.0+
Further Maths is assessed by 3 exams at the end of Year 13. Paper 1 and Paper 2 are 100 marks each of Pure Mathematics and then Paper 3 is the applied Papers and that is 50 marks from 2 of the 3 Applied units: Discrete, Statistics and Mechanics
