Level 2 : GCSE Mathematics (AQA)
Who is the course for?
The course addresses all the material covered in school and tries to rectify misunderstandings needed to improve your grade.
The GCSE has the same content as that studied in school and will consist of 3 units. You will study a particular area of Mathematics and then take the exam in that unit while it is still fresh in your mind.
Content outline
Two courses are available:
- The first course, the Foundation Level, is for students who have a grade D, and is designed to get your grade up to a C.
- The second course, the Higher Level, is for students who already have a grade C from either the Higher or Foundation Level and it is designed to get your grade up to anything from A* to B.
Please recognise that if your C grade achieved at school is from the Foundation Level, it may be very difficult to get it up to a minimum B grade at the Higher Level because you might have missed a great deal of Algebraic content necessary.
Method of assessment
Assessment is by 3 examinations taken in November, March and May/June .If students have previously studied the same AQA syllabus at school, there is a possibility of a November resit in the case of students with a D grade, which could enable them to upgrade to a C and leave the course after the results are known in January.
