Edexcel changed the course halfway through my A Level. I started Maths in Sept 2003 and I did 3 modules of Maths - P1, S1, S2 for AS Level. Pure has become Core. If it didnt change, I was planned to take this year S3, P2, P3. The P1 exam I took for AS Level now counts for nothing and this year it seems to be all Core Maths C1, C2, C3, C4. Im not even taking S3. The problem is, what was the course called before and what is it now. Ive sent off my UCAS application and I think it needs changing. Core Maths was not available on UCAS application just Pure. I chose "Mathematics (Pure) & Statistics" because its what I would have studied. My school says I should put down just "Mathematics". Is statistics part of Mathematics as a lone subject? This is annoying now, because I only got told to change the subject after I sent my application. Has anyone else got this problem? Could anyone help me to what this course is really called? Would I get away with it being called "Mathematics (Pure) & Statistics" because thats what I would have done for the old A Level. How unfair is it that P1 does not count for anything anymore. When I want to change my application, do I just tell UCAS or do I have to tell all the universities Ive applied to. To tell them my application has changed, is it best to phone them or post them a letter? How long will this change in my application take. I really cant afford to have this take a long time - I believe Im already late for applying for my University course (Business). I really am angry at edexcel, how unfair is it to change the course all of a sudden. I heard examining boards should inform of changes so things a planned ahead better.
Thanks for reading all of this and if you help.
