Maths Edexcel GCSE (2014)

I am really confused about the new edexcel system that has been put in place, anyone doing Higher Tier in June 2014 can you explain?


We have been told there are four modules; Methods 1, Methods 2, Applications 1, Applications 2......

if this is right does any one know what will come up in each???

Thank you! x

Do you know your course code? I've looked up both of Edexcel's GCSE Maths courses but neither of them appear to have four distinct modules.

Are you doing the Linked Pair

If so, yes, that is correct and you teacher will be able to provide you with a syllabus/list of topics

I wasn't aware of its existence! I only saw Mathematics A and B. I've never heard of "Linked Pair" and the spec doesn't seem to be publicly available. What is it? Is it 2 GCSEs?

Aw bless. Basically everyone in my class is doing higher tier as for some weird reason it's easier getting a 'C' grade on there :redface:

i was doing a past paper November 2013, unit 1 applications and i got stuck on
question 18 the one about the medals, i would be very grateful if someone could please help me
with this question i don't seem to understand it.

thank you for your time
what did you guys get for the vector question? I said something like (m-n) and 1/2(m-n) which means that they are scalar multiples and therefore parallel.
