Help - What board am I doing for A level Maths?

Hey, I went to my college induction yesterday and I had a maths lesson. I forgot to ask the teacher what board the college does for A level maths, however they gave everyone a sheet about the course and it doesnt mention what board the course is. On the sheet the course said in the AS year we would be doing C1, C2 and S1 and the books we will be using are from Ian Stewart or UKMT.

HELP?

PS: College is NewVIc

If you give us the name of the college, it'll probably be on their website somewhere.

From the prospectus:

The full A-level is assessed by three more unit
examinations and one piece of coursework.

As far as I'm aware, OCR MEI are the only board to have coursework, so you're probably with them :smile:

Looks like you are on the OCR MEI board which is good news. It is supposed to be difficult, but then MEI has the most resources so it should be the easiest to revise. It isn't bad at all, I just completed my A level maths with MEI.

I'm probably not the best role model haha. In my first year I failed it, so had to retake the whole AS. Then in the second year I concentrated on my other A levels so only got an E. I then was able to take it on to A2 and I'm now hoping for an A* after having put in all the work.
