Maths A Level in a Year

Due to complications in a previous school I have been forced to move to another which has in turn resulted in me having to sit a whole maths A Level in one year..
I was just wondering if there was anyone on here who had done the same. If so, how did it go?
Also any tips in regards to revision and preparing before the academic year starts would be extremely helpful!!

I studied Further Maths in a year, which is slightly different but the method should be the same. (A overall)

I think that the key to success is practicing until you gain an understanding of each topic, so do as many questions as you can, particularly from the textbook.

As you're on a tight schedule your aim should be to finish the AS modules by the end of the calender year, and the A2 ones by around April. That is of course, unless you're being taught them in class then you don't really have to worry about the timing.

It would be worth buying the textbooks and starting to teach yourself some of it - use videos online if this helps.

That schedule sounds great, actually.
I have purchased C1, C2 and D1 text books and will be studying C3, C4 and M1 throughout the next year.
My main concern was not being taken seriously in regards to my UCAS application as I do not have an AS result to declare - do you think this will have a massive impact?

I'm not terribly familiar with what kind of impact it would have, if any, but I imagine you would be predicted a grade by your school. As you're moving there I'm not sure what/how they would predict you - perhaps some tests very early on in the academic year? Best to ask them.

My predicted grade for Further Maths (where I did not have an AS result to declare either) formed part of my offer, so it might not have a massive impact to not have one as long as you're predicted what you need.

The school i'm moving to is in fact a school I was in for 5 years...confusing I know!
So i'm hoping they take the 3 AS grades I achieve and try to some how think of an overall result..
The work load is extremely frightening for me though, do you think a tutor would be a good option?

A tutor is a v. good option. They're are loads of desperate for cash uni students who've gotten A*s in Maths and are studying a maths based subject. I have many friends who fall into that category.

I pretty much covered AS in two months, and now covering all of A2 Maths.

You should start now, and focus more on doing lots of questions. There are many tutorials on Youtube, as well as useful revision notes. Also create a timetable and ensure you write down what you will need to cover each day, using your textbook and the specification.

Here's most of the sites I use:

Ah, I see!
Although now I am a bit confused as how to find these students?
I'm really desperate to achieve a high grade in maths and so thus would really appreciate finding a tutor soon!

Being a member of Edexcel, i would not recommend A-Level Mathematics over an academic year. You may find AS doable however A2 in 5 months will be a struggle. Good luck.

For Maths, I think the good things about a tutor are that they can explain stuff to you if you get stuck, help you structure your learning, like learn this chapter by ... and maybe if they're really good teach you stuff they know about the exam itself.

But you can do all of that by yourself and with the internet, it just takes a little more time and costs a lot less.

If you/your parents have the money for it I'd recommend it, but I think you can get by without it as long as you're motivated.

I have already been taught around 60% of AS maths but just did not sit the exam, and will be doing A2 in school itself.
Is the pass rate low in regards to those who sit in one year?

do you have a local university with a maths department or any friends who are uni students and may know maths-based-subject students. If so, basically get word around that you're an A-level maths students interested in some tutoring and provide details as to how much you're willing to pay. Similarly, ask your teacher if they know any tutors/former students who are willing to tutor you.

Ah yes I definitely will, unfortunately I have never properly revised before (silly I know), do you have any tips for making a timetable?

Thank you I will definitely have a look at those sites now!!

I unfortunately do not know any uni students..
My local uni is the University of Liverpool - is it worth getting in touch with the maths department there?
