Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Maths A level lay out (Edexcel)

So I was just wondering what is covered in the first year and second year of A level Maths?

I think the first year is C1, C2, S1 and M1 right??

If that is correct what is covered in the second year?

Thanks

Are you doing an international syllabus or the UK one?

The old modular system has gone now - the A level is a linear exam.

In which case you won't be taking modules like C1, S1 etc. as the course is now linear. You'll take 2 papers of pure and 1 of half statistics and half mechanics at the end of your second year. Some schools sit the AS at the end of first year, but most don't now :smile:
