![]() ![]() Getting started: This part covers the things that will make your life easier if you know them before you start studying. I take you through the topics that you can expect to come up in the exams, starting with the GCSE knowledge you’re expected to carry through to A level and ending with differential equations – which sound scarier than they really are. This book is for you if you’re about to start studying for your AS- or A level in maths – or if you’re already doing the course and need to improve your grade. Throughout the book, I try to break everything down into simple, repeatable steps that will work even if the question is a bit different from the example I’ve chosen. You’re not going to find exercises in it or nice pictures of Carl Friedrich Gauss, but you will find plenty of advice and instructions on how to tackle various types of questions.Īs for me, I’ve been tutoring A level maths since 2008, so I know what students tend to struggle with – and the kinds of explanations that tend to make complicated ideas make sense. Luckily, you’ve done something smart and got hold of a book to help you. Worse still, it’s a problem that’s up to you to put right! In reality, though, not many people know everything from GCSE, and if your teacher assumes you do when you don’t, well, then you have a problem. That said, if you know everything from your GCSE, you could probably pick up about a third of the marks in Core 1 without doing any more study. It’s a bit of a cliché that A level is a big step up from GCSE – but only because it’s at least partly true. ![]() So, you’ve chosen to study maths for A level? Fantastic.
