Is an A at GCSE enough?

Guys I just wanted assurance that an A at GCSE maths is a sign that the person could handle a level maths if they enjoy it?

The fact that you enjoy it is enough to motivate you more than candidates who get A*s and have the arrogance to think they can do no work when it comes to A level. Handle it? It's not as difficult as everyone makes it out to be it's not really a step up from GCSE. The first few chapters of C1 are literally solving quadratics, simultaneous equations, sine and cosine rule (all topics from GCSE). I think you underestimate yourself because you're not doing incredible yet. If you've only just started enjoying maths, then you'll love studying it for A level

It's true, I have just did my first non calculator paper in Thursday and pretty sure I got no less than 65-74 marks on it. That's always a good start isn't it?

How many marks is it out of? 100?

I think that you should do a bit of practice over the summer holiday so that you start the course in September at the same standard as the other students. As long as you aren't the lazy type, you're still capable of getting an A* in A level maths since you're going to be tested on new topics that are applicable to the real world so they're easier to enjoy. One of the things I didn't like about GCSE was learning things like how to differentiate or trigonometry without knowing why we'd ever use it

Basically, do these look intriguing to you, and do you want to find out more about these, at the same time gaining a qualification [serious question]?:















If the answer is yes, then certainly think about it.
If you're intimidated fully by these and they make you immediately say "nope", then don't think about A Level Maths.

Yeah it looks interesting

I don't think anyone can reassure you. It all depends on how hard you work as a person, some people have got A* at maths GCSEs but D at alevel. Just work hard, practice and you should be fine.

This literally only looks confusing because of the greek letters, trust me anyone can understand what it means so don't be put off by this person.
∑ just means 'the sum of'

Secondly this is nothing like AS maths and it's not a big leap like that at all

Ah but if you find interest in that, and think that you could cope with that, then AS will not feel as drastically scary!
