Our offer for AS and A Level Mathematics B (MEI)

Our specification makes it clear where to pitch the subject content. Content is arranged to show the split clearly between AS content and the A Level only content. The Maths and Further Maths specifications use the same content references to support teaching both courses.

Accessibility is key when writing our exam papers. The wording and layout of our questions papers are designed to ensure all students access the maths in the questions.

Defined command words make clear how much written working is needed to justify answers - see our command word poster for classroom display and as a student guide

Separate question and answer booklets allow students to see the whole question and all parts of their solution without the distraction of turning pages when working through extended response problems. See exploring our question papers guide to discover more.

Our pure and applied papers have a steady gradient of demand. Paper 01 and paper 02 are split into two sections, with the section A consisting of shorter, more routine questions which helps to build student confidence and motivation at the beginning.

Comprehension section. Paper 03 includes questions set on a short mathematical article. This is a key skill students will need for future study and employment.

We offer a comprehensive support package in collaboration with MEI. See our support highlights guide for the full range of teaching resources and professional development events. You can register for free to the MEI staffroom for schemes of work, resources and professional development.
