What the college says
AS Level Core Mathematics is diverse, engaging and highly useful in supporting students who need essential problem solving and quantitative skills to support their other qualifications, or for future study and employment. The course is intended for students who have passed GCSE Mathematics at a grade 4 or higher, but who have not chosen to study A Level Mathematics. It is taught across one year with the exam taken towards the end of Year 12. Each paper requires the use of preliminary material, which the students become familiar with prior to the exam.
