Mathematics
at Kings Priory School, North Shields · school or sixth form
What the college says
The A Level mathematics course is split into three separate sections, Pure, Statistics and Mechanics, all of which are studied in both Year 12 and Year 13. At the end of Year 13 there are three mathematics examinations: Paper 1 and 2 are both Pure and can contain any content from the Pure syllabus, and Paper 3 is split between statistics and mechanics. All three papers are 2 hours long, and calculators are allowed in all three. You do require a calculator that can calculate probabilities for the Normal distribution, and so we are recommending the Casio 991-Ex Classwiz calculator.
