This qualification consolidates students’ mathematical understanding, builds confidence and competence in applying mathematical techniques to solve a range of problems and introduces students to new techniques and concepts that will prepare them for further study and future employment within a broad range of academic, professional and technical fields. Core mathematics should be considered by those students who want to continue with some Mathematical education, but not to A Level, as well as those choosing A Level psychology, sciences and geography, as well as technical and vocational courses.
Students are expected to have gained a Grade 5 or above in Mathematics at GCSE. Due to the comprehension skills required, a Grade 4 or above in either English Language or English Literature is required.
The course consists of two 1 hour 30 minute papers. Paper 1 covers compulsory content including personal finance; data analysis; estimation and critical analysis. Paper 2 contains questions from content covering either statistical techniques; critical path and risk analysis or graphical techniques. Optional content will be chosen to reflect and complement strengths and subject choices of the cohort
