C2 includes Equations of circles, Logarithms, Geometric Series and Solving Trigonometric Equations. S1 builds on GCSE level statistics with new areas such as Regression, Discrete Random Variables and the Normal Distribution. Year 13 expands on the topics covered at AS with more Differentiation in C3, Trigonometric Identities, Functions and Numerical Methods.

A Mechanics (Forces / Motion / Moments) or Decision module (Critical Path Analysis / Linear Programming / Networks) is also studied.
