No. It's all basically GCSE stuff. There are some questions on the end about transformation of functions which I don't like but I haven't had a proper look at them yet :smile:

@Matrix123 Oh, that's okay then, I thought they'd give you some A Level questions but obviously they haven't taught you so they wouldn't :tongue:

Yeah

Well, on the back it says the workbook is meant "to cover the key algebra you need to bridge successfully from GCSE to AS Mathematics"

@Matrix123 Oh, ok, then I guess, the questions get harder as you go and the booklet's just meant to prepare you for AS Maths in September. :smile:

As someone who just finished A2 further maths, there's a massive overlap; the only real step up is in the trigonometry if I'm honest.

@Andy98 So AS is a lot similar to GCSE? :redface:

Yup

Oooh, cool. So how come you said you didn't like A Level maths as much as GCSE maths? Is it the trigonometry that did it?

Yeah, the main difference is that you start using radians and the numbers aren't as nice. Also you start to look at more complex graphs.

It's because I like the applied maths more the pure maths - A Level maths is mostly pure but GCSE was more applied.

Oh no - more complex graphs! :sigh:

I know you do :wink:

really? I always thought there'd be loads of applied and hardly any pure.

@Andy98 Oh, okay thanks :smile:

What about AS Further Maths? Is that similar too? :redface:

In AS and A2 maths you do 2 pure units and 1 applied each year.

Further maths includes more optional applied units, it depends which of those you do. But even the pure maths is completely different

@Andy98 Oh, ok, Thanks :biggrin:

btw, What other subjects did you do for your A Levels?

Same as your choices but with physics for AS :wink:

Nope - I think it's only Media, Maths and Psychology(?) that you can do to AS (what my teachers have told me anyway :tongue:

) so we can't drop any of the others

@Matrix123 I didn't want to drop a subject any ways, but for the people that did, they have to choose 3 and can't do a 4th AS, as they previously could have done.........right? :tongue:
