A-Level Mathematics: What to Expect

Choosing to study mathematics A-level is an exciting step that opens up a world of opportunities for your future. While it’s a big leap from GCSE, the skills and knowledge you’ll gain make the challenge worth it. You'll explore a variety of topics in greater depth, including pure mathematics, statistics, and mechanics, all designed to build your confidence in problem-solving and analytical thinking. Typically, the course is studied over two years. During your first year, you’ll tackle the AS Level (Advanced Subsidiary), followed by the A2 in the second year. Each stage builds on the foundation of your GCSE knowledge, gradually introducing more advanced concepts to help you grow as a mathematician. You’ll start by revisiting the core ideas of GCSE mathematics to ensure you feel confident with the basics. From there, you’ll progress to exciting new topics such as calculus, logarithms, and functions, while also expanding your understanding of trigonometry and vectors. Every step of the way, you’ll be developing skills that will not only enhance your academic achievements but also prepare you for a variety of maths careers and further maths education opportunities.

Succeed in A-Level Maths

Making the jump from GCSE to A-level Maths can feel like a big leap, with more complex topics and a greater focus on independent study. But don’t worry – at Tutorful, we’re here to support you every step of the way. Whether you need expert tutors, practical tips, or clever tricks to get ready for the course and exam preparations, we’ve got you covered. Here’s what you need to know about A-level Maths exams: You’ll sit three papers in June. Pure Mathematics 1 and Pure Mathematics 2 cover the foundations and advanced concepts. A combined Statistics and Mechanics paper challenges you to apply what you’ve learned in real-world contexts. A-level exam boards, ranked in order of increasing difficulty, are often considered as follows: AQA, Edexcel, OCR, OCR MEI, and Cambridge. To build a strong foundation in A-level maths, it's helpful to focus on key topics early on. These include the three methods for solving quadratic equations (factorising, using the quadratic formula, and completing the square), as well as mastering surds, indices, and understanding the differences between the gradient of a line and the gradient of a curve. Additionally, having a solid grasp of trigonometry and the unit circle is essential for success. With the right support, preparation, and mindset, you can approach A-level Maths with confidence and succeed. Let's make learning work for you!

Jack W
A patient, open-minded and passionate Maths tutor.
Hi ! My name's Jack and I am a mathematics graduate from the University Of Bristol, aiming to help you achieve your full potential in mathematics. I developed a passion for the subject as a child, and now strive to ignite this passion in others. Having studied maths at school, I understand how maths can be a daunting and foreboding subject, and the teaching of it in schools, as well as the large class sizes neglects the requirements and needs of all students. This can lead to gaps in understanding, a lack of confidence and a dislike for the subject. I aim to help build this foundational understanding...

Sam F
Supportive Maths tutor
I am now graduated from Oxford University with a degree in mathematics.Mathematics is a subject a lot of people struggle with, but only because it isn't taught like it should be. Maths can be a beautiful subject with visual intuition and ah-hah applications, and a bridge of so much more in between.I like to try and help teach people not just lists of facts to memorise, but to help them see why all of this works until it seems like common sense. A good mathematical education is one where you can see not just what you need to know, but deep under the hood as well.I remember when I was in school and...

Peter T
I’ve only had a couple of lessons (A-level) with Peter so far, but he has already made a huge difference in my understanding of maths. From the very first lesson, he was incredibly accommodating and quickly identified the areas I struggle with, tailoring his approach to help me improve efficiently. He is kind, patient, and explains concepts in a way that makes them click—something I had been struggling with for ages suddenly made sense within minutes of his explanation. As someone with ADD, I often struggle to stay focused, but Peter’s lively and engaging teaching style has made a real difference. His approach keeps me engaged, and I find myself zoning out far less (if at all!) compared to lessons at school. He’s also incredibly patient, ensuring I fully understand a topic before moving on, which has really helped build my confidence. Peter has also introduced a structured approach to revision by allocating different days for Pure and Statistics/ Mechanics, which is a method I hadn’t used before but has already been really helpful in organising my study and revision. Peter’s excellent resources, clear explanations, and engaging teaching style have made a real difference, and I’m hopeful that with his help me to tackle exam questions with ease and finesse. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and supportive maths teacher!

Is A-level maths very difficult?

Maths A level can be challenging, but with dedication and perseverance, it is achievable. The difficulty of Maths A level varies from student to student and depends on individual strengths and weaknesses, as well as the level of effort put into studying and practising the subject. It is important to note that Maths A level requires strong problem-solving skills, logical thinking, and a solid foundation in mathematical concepts.

Is it worth doing A-level maths?

Maths A-Level is highly valuable, building essential skills like problem-solving and logical reasoning. It opens doors to top universities and careers in fields like engineering, finance, and data analysis while offering personal satisfaction and practical applications.

How is A-level Maths graded?

A-Level grades are determined through a combination of coursework, practical assessments, and written exams. Each exam is graded on a scale from A* to E, with A* representing the highest achievement. Grade boundaries for each exam are set by the exam board, reflecting the difficulty of the specific exam. For instance, achieving an A* in a particularly difficult exam might require a score of 90%, whereas an A* in a less challenging exam might only need 80%. Once all exam results are finalized, the overall A-Level grade is calculated by combining the grades from each exam to form an average. For example, a student earning an A* in one exam, an A in another, and a B in a third would have an overall grade of A*AB.
