The Edexcel A Level Further Maths course allows students to gain a wider and deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and techniques. It is usually taken in addition to A Level Mathematics and is recommended for the strongest mathematicians who thoroughly enjoy the subject.
You will have two teachers who share the delivery across 8 hours per fortnight. Providing you continue into Year 2 (full A Level), you will sit 4 x 1.5hr exam papers at the end of the two year course as follows:
Year 12 (2024-26)
Paper 1 - Core Pure Mathematics 1 (9FM0/01)
Paper 2 - Core Pure Mathematics 2 (9FM0/02)
Paper 3 – Further Pure Mathematics 1 (9FM0/3A)
Paper 4 – Further Mechanics 1 (9FM0/3C)
Year 13 (2023-25)
Paper 1 - Core Pure Mathematics 1 (9FM0/01)
Paper 2 - Core Pure Mathematics 2 (9FM0/02)

All of the four papers are equally weighted and are worth 75 marks each. Scientific calculators are allowed in all of the above papers.
