Edexcel A Level Further Maths
Advanced Level (A-Level) Mathematics is a qualification of taken in the and occasionally in other countries as well. In the UK exams are traditionally taken by 17-18 year-olds after a two-year course at a. Is often taken by students who wish to study a mathematics based degree at university.Like other A-level subjects, mathematics has been assessed in a modular system since the introduction of, whereby each candidate must take six modules, with the best achieved score in each of these modules (after any retakes) contributing to the final grade. Most students will complete three modules in one year, which will create an AS-level qualification in their own right and will complete the A-level course the following year with three more modules.The system in which mathematics is assessed is changing for students starting courses in 2017 (part of the A-level reforms first introduced in 2015), where the reformed specifications have reverted to a linear structure with exams only taken at the end of the course in a single sitting.

5 days ago - A further maths A-level paper has been replaced at the last minute after. Week after images of an Edexcel maths exam were circulated online.
In addition, whereas in the older modular specification schools could choose freely between taking Statistics, Mechanics or Discrete Mathematics (also known as Decision Mathematics) modules with the ability to specialise in one branch of applied Mathematics, the new specifications make both Mechanics and Statistics compulsory, with Discrete Mathematics being made exclusive as an option to students pursuing a Further Mathematics course. The first assessment opportunity for the new specification is 2018 and 2019 for A-levels in Mathematics and Further Mathematics respectively. Contents.2000s specification The basic A-Level course consists of six modules, four pure modules (C1, C2, C3, and C4) and two applied modules in Statistics, Mechanics and/or Decision Mathematics. The C1 through C4 modules are referred to by A-level textbooks as 'Core' modules, encompassing the major topics of mathematics such as logarithms, differentiation/integration and geometric/arithmetic progressions.The two chosen modules for the final two parts of the A-Level are determined either by a student's personal choices or the course choice of their school/college, but commonly take the form of S1 (Statistics) and M1 (Mechanics).Further mathematics. Main article:Some mathematics students will choose to take an A-level in Further Mathematics which requires taking a further 6 modules to give a second qualification. The grades of the two A-levels will be independent of each other. Further Mathematics requires students to take a minimum of two Further Pure modules, one of which must be FP1, and the other either FP2 or FP3, which are simply extensions of the four Core modules from the normal Maths A-Level.
Four more modules need to be taken; those available vary with different specifications.Not all schools are able to offer Further Mathematics, due to low student numbers meaning the course is not financially viable, or due to a lack of suitably experienced teachers. To fulfil the demand extra tutoring is available, with providers such as the Further Mathematics Support Programme.Some students can also take a third maths qualification, 'Additional Further Mathematics', which adds more modules from those not used for Mathematics or Further Mathematics.
Schools that offer this qualification usually only take this to AS-level, taking three modules, but some students can go further, taking the extra six modules to gain another full A-Level qualification.

Lastly, a Pure Mathematics A-level is available for those students who (on the Edexcel exam board) take the modules C1, C2, C3, C4, FP1 and either FP2 or FP3.Results and statistics Each module carries a maximum of 100 UMS points towards the total grade and each module is also given a separate grade depending on its score.
