What is the difference between AS and A2 Maths
Hi,
I finished AS and found straightforward, but Ive been told A2 is much much more difficult. What do you think? Is it really difficult to get an A in it?

If you found AS maths straightforward, then you should have no trouble with A2. It's not harder than AS at all - it just builds on what you've already learnt. Everyone in my maths set agreed that A2 pure modules were easier than AS pure modules, simply because of the massive conceptual leap from GCSE to AS e.g. you didn't know what a derivative was. But AS to A2 is easier because you already know the basic language of maths, and you just start to apply it.
I would say there is a noticeable jump. I reckon C3 covers almost as much as C1 & C2 put together.
The material is a bit harder (and more interesting) but nothing to worry about if you found AS easy. Its all doable and well explained in the texts.
