Maths and Further Maths A*

I would too, but they're still good results. I think the A* is too hit and miss.

I think there should be a lower A2 average and a higher requirement for the whole qualification. Or just a whole total score, with no less than an A in an A2 module.

540/600 = A*

And you can't have any Bs in an A2 module.

For maths at least.

It'd be worth more then although giving the possibility of 80 in C3/4 might be controversial.

Yeah, I've been thinking about that too, burns think thy wanted to stop people who just didn't work in year 13

Yeah, that's an issue... But I still think it should change. Perhaps the 90 average remains, so just 540/600 with 90 minimum in C3 and C4 (not an average)

I like that less . maybe 90 average including an applied module, like FM and other subjects

but then I'd miss out unless S1 I do it...

90 average in C3+4

And 540/600 overall.

That way the A2 pressure still there, alongside having to work. And then there's the average so you can get 80 something in one.

Or maybe even a whole new UMS structure! Different weightings for each unit, and then have a total score for AS.

C/FP/M/S/D 1 = 10%
C2 = 12%
C3/4, M2/3/4/5, S2/3/4, D2 = 19.5%

Hmmm, yeah, 90 overall in the subject with 90 at A2


Loll, don't think they go for that somehow

Seriously? I will also be doing the rest of A2 Maths at school but I would like a head start..

How are you with C3 and C4? Have you got much to do?

I am bricking it for C2 and M1... So behind .. I can do the easier questions of most topics but then the harder ones I am clueless about

so worried!!!

And yea I started pastpapers 3 days ago, doing 1 a night. When you can't do a question do you resort straight to the mark scheme?

To be fair, A*s in maths and further maths aren't that hard to get

STEP and uni maths = the real challenge.

Yea it's harder than pure imo.

I find moments and vectors the hardest topic... oh and SUVAT.

To be fair, A*s in maths and further maths aren't that hard to get. All you have to do is, rather plainly, apply certain concepts to simplistic questions. You can easily get there with some revision.

STEP and uni maths = the real challenge.

Mechanics is the easiest - so logical and tidy (and completely unrepresentative of reality). Stats, on the other hand, is just number crunching and so dull.

What is this in response to...

I think he was just trying to belittle all you A-Level students discussing the logistics of getting an A* in Maths/Further
