Studying A Level Statistics will enable students to build on the statistics and data that they have already come across in the KS4 curriculum in mathematics and other subjects. Students will be learning about the core of the statistical enquiry cycle by calculating and analysing statistics and graphs through authentic contexts in two content groups: Data and probability and statistical inference.
GCSE Mathematics grade 7 or above. If students have achieved GCSE Statistics at grade 5 or above, then a GCSE Mathematics grade 6 is required. Students are required to have secure knowledge in how to calculate summary statistics, how to create relevant graphs given a data set and how to interpret these. As such, a secure grade at GCSE Mathematics is required. GCSE Statistics is not a pre-requisite for this A Level, hence study of GCSE Statistics is preferable but NOT a requirement. A Level Statistics is a full A Level. It is not intended as a replacement for A Level Maths but to enhance further statistical studies.
Students will be assessed at the end of Year Thirteen in three exams: Paper 1: Data and probability Paper 2: Statistical inference Paper 3: Statistics in practice All three exams are calculator exams lasting two hours and worth 80 marks, each equally weighted as a third of the qualification.
