Switching from AQA AS Maths to A2 Edexcel maths

I've currently finished my AS year and I'm going to be moving to another college for A2. I've done AQA Maths but the college I'm going to offers Edexcel maths.


Are there a lot of differences between what is taught in both boards or is it manageable, so that I can carry on with A2 without looking back at the topics taught at AS for edexcel. I don't want to be struggling with Maths since I feel as if it's one subject I know I can do well in, well that's how I thought before switching over so I am doubtful now.

Any help is welcome, thanks in advance.

I'm not sure this is technically possible...?

I may be wrong. I know schools can sometimes change their whole cohort within a whole year if they have a good reason for it. But I'm unsure whether an individual can be entered for A2 and A-level results without having done the AS modules.

I might be wrong with the individual though.

It is possible, because I did the same converting from WJEC to Edexcel. There are unlikely to be many (if any) crossovers between AS and A2 in Core modules (there will between C1 and C2 and then C3 and C4 but probably not C2 and C3), there may be in Applied modules (if you're doing S1/S2, M1/M2 or D1/D2).

What subject was that with? I know with most humanities' and arts it's not easily possibly.

No, you are right there won't be many crossovers - A2 is step up development from AS, so it's just furthering your understanding from AS.

I don't take Maths. However, you won't do Applied Modules in AS without having done them at A2. So if your teacher/HoD knows that you haven't done applied modules, they will not enter you for that module because you would need to have done the applied modules at AS in order to do them at A2 and get a qualification in that specific maths A-level.

This was Maths.

Not sure I understand what you're talking about with the Applied modules though.
