Who this is for

This course is for you if

  • You need A Level Mathematics for engineering, computing, economics, medicine or a science degree, or a degree apprenticeship that asks for it.
  • You are resitting or returning to study and want the same A Level, from the same awarding body, that is sat in UK schools and colleges, with UCAS points on results day.
  • You are a strong GCSE mathematician who wants to keep going with pure maths, mechanics and statistics at your own pace.
  • You are an adult returning to study who wants a recognised A Level at your own pace, with a tutor who marks your work and a clear route to the exam.
What you will need

Entry requirements

  • Open to anyone aged 14 or over. Under 18s enrol with a parent or guardian's permission and support. There are no formal entry qualifications.
  • Recommended starting point: GCSE Mathematics at grade 6 or above, or a confident working knowledge of GCSE algebra. This is recommended, not required, and the first unit revises the algebra the course builds on.
  • A computer, tablet or phone with internet access, a scientific or graphical calculator with statistical functions (allowed in all three papers), a ruler, pencil and squared paper.
  • The ability to attend a Tutors & Exams centre in England for your written papers.

There is no minimum study time. Most learners spend 8 to 12 hours a week and finish in 12 to 18 months, or faster if you study more each week. Assignments are for feedback and do not count towards your grade; the qualification is 100% examined.

What you'll study

Every topic in the AQA 7357 specification, in one course

The AQA 7357 specification has 20 lettered content areas: pure mathematics (A to J), statistics (K to O) and mechanics (P to S), plus the overarching themes and the large data set used in statistics. Open each topic to see what it covers.

Three equally weighted papers, 2 hours and 100 marks each

1Pure mathematics: proof, algebra and functions
Sections A to C · all three papers
  • A: Proof, including proof by deduction, exhaustion and contradiction
  • B: Algebra and functions, indices, surds, quadratics, polynomials, partial fractions and transformations
  • C: Coordinate geometry in the (x, y) plane, straight lines, circles and parametric equations
2Pure mathematics: sequences, trigonometry, exponentials and logarithms
Sections D to F · all three papers
  • D: Sequences and series, binomial expansion, arithmetic and geometric sequences
  • E: Trigonometry, radians, identities, reciprocal and inverse functions
  • F: Exponentials and logarithms, modelling growth and decay
3Pure mathematics: calculus, numerical methods and vectors
Sections G to J · all three papers
  • G: Differentiation, including the chain, product and quotient rules and implicit differentiation
  • H: Integration, including by substitution, by parts and differential equations
  • I: Numerical methods, including the Newton-Raphson method and the trapezium rule
  • J: Vectors in two and three dimensions
4Statistics
Sections K to O · Paper 3
  • K: Statistical sampling
  • L: Data presentation and interpretation, using the large data set
  • M: Probability, including conditional probability
  • N: Statistical distributions, binomial and normal
  • O: Statistical hypothesis testing
5Mechanics
Sections P to S · Paper 2
  • P: Quantities and units in mechanics
  • Q: Kinematics, including calculus and projectiles
  • R: Forces and Newton's laws, including friction
  • S: Moments
Step 1Build the pure maths first

Pure mathematics is two thirds of the marks and underpins mechanics and statistics, so the course front-loads algebra, trigonometry and calculus.

Step 2Practise under exam conditions

Every unit ends with marked, exam style questions. Before entry you sit full timed mock papers with written feedback returned within 5 to 7 working days.

Step 3Sit all three papers in one series

On +Exams your entry and your seat at a Tutors & Exams centre are booked for you and the fees are included.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is A level Mathematics hard?

A level Mathematics is a Level 3 academic qualification and is at the same difficulty as the same A level taught in any UK school or sixth-form college. Most learners study around 8 to 12 hours per week and complete in 12 to 18 months.

How old do I need to be?

Open to anyone aged 14 or over. Under 18s enrol with a parent or guardian's permission and support. There are no formal entry qualifications.

How is the A level assessed?

Through external written exams sat in May or June at an approved exam centre. There are no controlled assessments or coursework, exams are 100% of your grade.

When can I sit the exams?

A Levels are examined once a year, in the May/June series. All papers are sat in the same series, and any non-exam assessment is submitted in the same year. On +Exams we enter you and book your seat at a Tutors & Exams centre for the series you are ready for; on Study you can arrange your own entry as a private candidate.

Where will I sit the exams?

At one of the ten Tutors & Exams centres across England: Birmingham, Bolton, Coventry, Doncaster, High Wycombe, Mitcham, Newcastle, Romford, St Neots and Taunton. Use the centre finder on this page to see your nearest. Exams are always sat in person at an approved centre; no A Level can be sat online.

How does paying work?

You pay monthly by subscription, or annually up front at the price shown in the plan card, which saves 15% against paying monthly. Every option starts with a 7-day free trial, there is no contract and no credit agreement, and you can cancel from your account at any time. Every payment is covered by 14-day money back. On +Exams the awarding body entry fee and the Tutors & Exams centre fee are included in the price. We do not offer Advanced Learner Loans, student finance or third-party credit; the subscription is the only way to pay.

What does the Study option include?

The full course, your named UK tutor, marked practice in every unit, mock papers and AI Study Support.

What if I stop paying?

You simply stop studying. There is no contract, no credit agreement and no debt. You can cancel from your account at any time and there is 14-day money back on every payment.

Can I sit the exams as a private candidate?

Yes. Lift College learners are entered as private candidates. On +Exams we handle the entry and book your seat at a Tutors & Exams centre, and the entry and centre fees are included. On Study you can enter yourself at a centre that accepts private candidates; you are responsible for that entry, the fees and any non-exam assessment arrangements.

Are these A levels accepted by UK universities?

Yes. Our A levels are awarded by AQA, OCR, or Pearson Edexcel and are identical to those taught in UK schools and colleges. Every UK university accepts them, and they earn the same UCAS points (up to 56 per A level at A*).

How long does an A level take?

You typically study one A level in 12 to 18 months. Many learners take two or three A levels alongside each other across two years to apply for university the following autumn.

Not sure if A Level Mathematics is right for you?

A UK adviser calls you back within 2 working hours, Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm. No sales script.
