And are "Pure mathematics" "Maths and statistics" and "Maths and Mechanics" All different A Levels?
Would they count as Three A Levels?

It's possible to do the mechanics module (M1) in your first year and then stats in your second (S1)
That's one A level.
Then you can choose to do A level further maths which counts as a separate A level

Interesting, I hadn't heard of additional further maths before. Are there more modules to take or does it just use the ones not taken in maths and further maths?

example for EDEXCEL
straight maths: C1, C2, C3, C4 S1, S2
further maths: FP1, FP2 FP3, M1 ,M2, M3
ADDITIONAL D1, D2, S3, S4, M4, M5

EDIT: I did a bit of reading, and it seems that it is Edexcel and OCR only, which is a pity as I did AQA ;_;

Ah ok. That seems like something I would have done if possible, but my school didn't offer it unfortunately.

very few schools offer to teach all this (I know only of one private school in my vicinity that teaches all of them). Almost everybody who takes all 18 has to self study for some modules

I don't get why AQA don't have it as an option; I mean, they even have an extra unit! In hindsight, I might have picked a sixth form that didn't use AQA, so that I could have done the course, as I didn't know about it at the time. However, it all matters little now.

your school might not "advertise" it

I still got offers from good universities though, so I guess it doesn't matter too much.

Checked Wikipedia - AQA does not give the qualification. Nothing comes up on google for 'AQA additional further maths' except for an old TSR post which suggests the same thing.

Doesn't matter as the A level isn't a requirement since the people that take extra modules are so scarce, if you had simply taken all of the modules and got individual grades for each that would've sufficed

Officially, these are all the A-Level Mathematics courses out there. MEI subjects are just different syllabuses made by MEI in co-operation with OCR.
AS/A2 Mathematics
AS/A2 Mathematics (MEI)
AS/A2 Pure Mathematics
AS/A2 Statistics (AQA)
AS Statistics (MEI)
AS/A2 Further Mathematics
AS/A2 Further Mathematics (Additional)
AS/A2 Use of Mathematics
AS Quantitive Methods (MEI)
There are also a couple of Level 3 Maths qualifications out there:
Edexcel Level 3 Award in Algebra
Edexcel Level 3 Award in Statistical Methods
OCR Level 3 Additional Maths (FSMQ)
