This is from the specimen paper, part B is the mathematics section.

It really annoys me how A-level Economics has no maths whatsoever.

Pls don't be pedantic and just accept it's an essay based subject...

Nah it really annoys me too, I think there should be way more maths in subjects like physics and economics. but I guess the exam boards can't assume that everyone does A level Maths.

Same subjects as you but economics instead of history (I was doing history too but dropped it after AS :tongue: )
I've applied for physics at Oxford, Warwick, Bristol, Nottingham and Southampton. Received an offer from Bristol so far. Really want Warwick too haha


I was gonna drop history, but my year leader wouldn't let me as I'm doing much better in that than physics. Very brave of you to do physics!! And I got the 'ruler of the universe" from Nottingham in the post a couple of months ago and I have no idea why haha.

You have got to be kidding me.

From what I know I think AQA has calculus and trapezium/simpsons rule.

Other than that I do OCR therefore no calculus and just dealing with alot of equations all the time...

Then again if you wanted more 'Maths'
You could do A-level Statistics as it wont exist after reforms
