Starting A-Level Maths

Hi, I start A-Level Maths this week and i’m really scared about starting it because i’ve feel like i’ve forgotten everything I learnt at GCSE. Can anyone tell me, does A-Level Maths begin off very easy and are recaps in depth? Also a lot of sixth forms require a grade 6 at GCSE math to do A-Level Maths does that mean you need the knowledge of a grade 6 student to do maths, I know it’s a dumb question but it would help calm me down a lot 😂 I’m really scared about starting A-Level Maths tommorow, if anyone could also tell me some things I should do some quick recap on today before starting the course that would be great.

They recap some GCSE topics that you need with you and then they start going more in depth into the A level spec so it starts easy. Don’t worry about it until ur doing it and ur struggling.

Hey there, I've also started doing AS maths and this is 1st/2nd week in, and I also was quite intimidated by the content we started. I also felt like all the IGCSE content has left me. I realised doing a bit of refresher or looking at examples really do help. What topics have your class started/doing? If you have done relatively well in your GCSEs then it's all good to go. Just recap and you are all set.
