GCE A2 Further Maths (MEI)

UPDATED 20161128 09:46:24

The AS GCE is assessed at a standard appropriate for candidates who have completed the first year of study of a two-year Advanced GCE course, i.e. between GCSE and Advanced GCE. It forms the first half of the Advanced GCE course in terms of teaching time and content. When combined with the second half of the Advanced GCE course, known as ‘A2’, the AS forms 50% of the assessment of the total Advanced GCE. However the AS can be taken as a stand-alone qualification. A2 is weighted at 50% of the total assessment of the Advanced GCE.

Course information

Name: GCE A2 Further Maths (MEI) Qualification title: GCE A Level in Further Mathematics (MEI) Qualification type: Assessment Following recent reforms in assessment of A-Levels, students now take their unit examinations in the summer at the end of each academic year. In most cases, the examinations last 1½ hours and students are allowed to use graphical calculators. Students can still re-sit units in Year13, with the best mark counting, but there are no longer any examinations in January. Clearly this means that students now have to make sure that they are better-prepared than ever for the examinations at the end of Year 12, or they may end up with several units to resit alongside their other examinations at the end of Year 13. Approximate grade boundaries for AS GCE and Advanced GCE are: A 80%, B 70%, C 60%, D 50% and E 40%. For Advanced GCE an A* requires 80% overall, plus an average of more than 90% in Core 3 and Core 4 only. Similarly for the Further Mathematics GCE, the top three A2 units must have an average of over 90%. Awarding Oxford Cambridge & RSA Examinations Created 20150923 10:21:36 Updated 20161128 09:46:24
