Studying A Level Mathematics online as an adult
Yes. Adults of any age can study AQA 7357 online with Lift College and sit the same papers as school candidates (three 2-hour papers of 100 marks each, equally weighted, calculator allowed throughout), as a private candidate at a Tutors & Exams centre. The course is open to anyone aged 14 or over (under 18s enrol with a parent or guardian's permission and support) and there are no formal entry qualifications. The recommended starting point is GCSE Mathematics at grade 6 or above, or a confident working knowledge of GCSE algebra; this is recommended, not required. A Levels are examined once a year, in the May/June series, and all papers are sat in the same series. There is no coursework or non-exam assessment, so the A Level is 100% examined. Most learners spend 8 to 12 hours a week and finish in 12 to 18 months, or faster if they study more each week. On +Exams we enter you before AQA's deadline and book your seat at one of ten Tutors & Exams centres in England; exam entry is only on +Exams. Our guide to A Level private exam centres explains the process, and can you do A Levels online? covers how online study and in-person exams fit together.

What is A Level Mathematics?
A Level Mathematics is a Level 3 qualification in the study of pure mathematics, mechanics and statistics, usually studied over two years at school or college. On AQA 7357 you sit three papers of 2 hours, each worth 100 marks, with a calculator allowed in all three. Grades run from A* to E, worth 56 to 16 UCAS tariff points. Lift College teaches the full AQA 7357 course online from £49.99 a month when you pay today, save up to 17% for life, with a named UK tutor, or you can try it free for 7 days first.
Learners take A Level Mathematics for degrees such as engineering, computing, economics, medicine or a science, or for a degree apprenticeship that asks for it, and adults take it to resit, change career or apply to university.
Is A Level Mathematics hard?
In summer 2026, 42.5% of the 115,380 UK entries in A Level Mathematics were graded A* or A, and 96.4% achieved A* to E, against 28.5% and 97.5% across all A Levels (JCQ, published 13 August 2026). The pure content builds on itself, and Papers 2 and 3 can test anything from Paper 1 alongside mechanics or statistics, so gaps need closing early.
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.
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.

Every family studying with us can have its own parent portal. See how your child is getting on week by week, agree a study plan together and get a short summary in your inbox, without ever having to ask "have you done any work?".
- Progress at a glance. Study days, lessons finished and progress against their target.
- Their work and marks. Everything they hand in, with the mark and their tutor's feedback.
- A plan you make together. A weekly study plan, an alert if it slips and a weekly summary.
Every topic in the AQA 7357 specification, in one course
The AQA 7357 specification has 19 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. Taking a second maths A Level alongside it? Read Further Maths: how it works. Open each topic to see what it covers.
Three equally weighted papers, 2 hours and 100 marks each
1Pure mathematics: proof, algebra and functionsSections 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 logarithmsSections 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 vectorsSections G to I · all three papers; J (Vectors) · Paper 2
- 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
4StatisticsSections 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
5MechanicsSections 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
Pure mathematics is two thirds of the marks and underpins mechanics and statistics, so the course front-loads algebra, trigonometry and calculus.
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.
On +Exams your entry and your seat at a Tutors & Exams centre are booked for you and the fees are included.
How you are assessed
Three written papers of 2 hours, each 100 marks and worth 33⅓%, all sat in the same May/June series. All three count equally.

Papers contain a mix of short single-mark questions and multi-step problems. A calculator is allowed in all three papers. There is no coursework. Grades run from A* to E on the combined total, with U below E.

Three. AQA A level Maths (7357) is assessed by three written papers, each two hours long and worth 100 marks. Paper 1 covers pure mathematics, Paper 2 covers pure mathematics and mechanics, and Paper 3 covers pure mathematics and statistics. All three are sat at the end of the course.
Is there a non calculator paper in A Level Maths?
No. On AQA 7357 a calculator is allowed in all three papers, each 2 hours and worth 100 marks, so there is no non calculator paper.
