(1MA1 specification) The external assessment by Edexcel takes place in the summer of Year 11, comprising of 3 written examinations. Paper 1 is a non-calculator assessment and a calculator is allowed for Paper 2 and Paper 3. Each paper is 1 hour and 30 minutes long. Each paper has 80 marks. The qualification will be graded and certificated on a nine-grade scale from 9 to 1 using the total mark across all three papers where 9 is the highest grade. Individual papers are not graded. Foundation tier: grades 1 to 5. Higher tier: grades 4 to 9 (grade 3 allowed). There is no coursework involved. The course itself will form the bedrock of your education. Being numerate and analytical in today's society is paramount and necessary. We will teach you life skills that will in turn help you calculate your finances, manage your time and solve problems. A GCSE grade 5 in Mathematics is the first thing a large number of employers look for. It is also a requirement for many, if not all, higher levels of education.
