Which book(s) for AEA Maths?

Hello there!

I am taking the AEA Maths exam this June and I need book recommendations. Should I go to a bookstore and ask for A Level textbooks or are there any special books directed to AEA preparation?

Thanks in advance! :tsr2:

.ACS.

The content knowledge required for AEA comes from C1-4... So basically the knowledge you'll have from doing A-Level Maths. There's no special book or anything extra you need.

I am not doing A-Level Maths, that's the thing. I am from Greece and although the syllabus of your Maths there is more or less the same I want a better "contact" with your A-Levels.

(So, the question could be transformed to "Which book(s) for A-Level Maths?")

This and this.

Both are excellent and contain the full A level Core syllabus with a massive amount of worked examples and review exercises.

Once you're sure that you're up to scratch with the A level syllabus, I'd just dive into AEA papers (and maybe the odd STEP I question).

Hope that helps! :smile:

I have already asked this but in Greece people have extra lessons (after school) so they prepare for their "A-Levels". Does that happen in England too?

If it does, I have no chance for a distinction, do I? :P

(These extra lessons are not supported by the schools, it's entirely up to the students but since our school never covers the whole syllabus we are forced to do so)
