Would anybody know for Further Maths - how one would define 3 A2 modules?
A2 modules are anything ending in a 2 or higher (excluding C2 but that's irrelevant). e.g. if you did FP1-3 and M1-3 for further maths, you'd have to get 270/300 in the best three of FP2, FP3, M2 and M3, and 480/600 overall

What about D1 and D2 ? Is it your interpretation - that all module ending with 2 or above is A2 or is there a doc which says that. I was not able to find anything which states this except in TSR Thks for your help.

Not sure about for other exam boards but on MEI the specification says AS next to AS units and A2 next to A2 units
however if you take M2 or S2 as part of A Level Maths, then your 90% average must extend over to this as these are A2 modules - a combination of M1 and S1 avoids this.
In order to allow candidates to take more than one type of applications unit, candidates may certificate A level mathematics with four AS and two A2 units This makes mathematics unique among A level subjects and has resulted in different arrangements for awarding the A* grade for A level mathematics, with A* awarded on the basis of performance on the A2 pure mathematics units only, which means very good performance on an A2 applications unit will not contribute to A*.
Thks - I had seen that before. I interpret that as any application units inclding s1,d1, m1 can be part of final A level without diffeentiating between AS and A2 levels for further Maths. So one can get A* in FM by having say 90% with S1, D1, S2 modules - assuming say M1, M2 was taken with A level Maths. So edexcel is more flexible than other boards.

But I don't think that is correct; S1, M1, D1 are all AS units according to that table. So the 90% condition of the A* has to be met with other units (e.g. FP2, FP3, S2, M2).

I cannot find any table in Edexcel - which terms S1,m1,d1 as As modules.
