What the college says

This course is for you if you enjoy Mathematics and also achieved well at GCSE Mathematics. An essential part of Mathematics is the challenge of analysing and solving a problem and the satisfaction and confidence gained from achieving a ‘correct’ answer. However, a big difference between GCSE and A Level is the depth of knowledge and understanding needed. If you want to understand why, rather than just being able to “do” Mathematics, then through A Level Maths your depth of knowledge and understanding will grow. The exams for A Level Maths are taken after your 2 years of the course and they will be different to what you faced in GCSE as they will test a lot more of your understanding. There are many marks for showing how you got the answer; if you choose Maths you will not have to write essays, but you will need to be able to communicate well in written work to explain your solutions.
