I know it may sound a bit odd, but I want to take the further maths A level exam only, no maths A-level exam. Of course, I will cover the A-level maths modules as well as the modules needed for further maths. I am an international student and in my own country, I will be taking the equivalent of maths a level. Doing the maths exams at a-level (at Edexcel International) will, therefore, be a waste of time and money.
Do you guys know whether it is possible to take the fm exams only?

from my knowledge, further maths is an optional but not the maths...

The only reason that I want to do further maths at Edexcel International is that my school doesn't offer further maths.Last edited by Jeffrey98; 01-03-2016 at 21:22. -

You can take the exams if you wish but you cannot be awarded a qualification

Okay thanks. So if want to get a fm qualification, I should do both the maths and further maths exams, right?

Yes, you have to have an A level in maths to be awarded an A level in further maths.

Further maths is an entirely separate A level, there is no need to do maths, however in most situations it would be absurd.

Unless someone has or is working towards an Edexcel (Pearson) A level in maths or an approved A level from an alternative examiner, they can't get a further maths A level.
