Maths and Statistics A Level Course This course provides the information you will need to prepare for the AQA A-Level in Maths with Statistics examinations. This A Level Maths and Statistics course focus on four core topics: algebra, geometry, trigonometry and calculus. These topics make up two-thirds of the A-Level qualification. The remaining third is focused on the study of statistics, including estimation, probability and distributions. This course has been designed to: develop the student's understanding of mathematics and mathematical processes in a way that promotes confidence and fosters enjoyment develop abilities to reason logically and to recognise incorrect reasoning, to generalise and to construct mathematical proofs extend their range of mathematical skills and techniques and use them in more difficult unstructured problems use mathematics as an effective means of communication acquire the skills needed to use technology such as calculators and computers effectively, to recognise when such use may be inappropriate and to be aware of limitations develop an awareness of the relevance of mathematics to other fields of study, to the world of work and to society in general This A-Level Maths with Statistics course complements other A-Level courses with a statistical element, such as biology, sociology or psychology, and is ideal for those wishing to study these subjects at a higher level. A-Level Maths with Statistics qualification is also applicable to many jobs and careers and can be used for career progression and further training whilst in employment.

Study Hours

This is only an approximate figure and is dependant upon how much time you can dedicate to your studies and how well you grasp the learning concepts in the course material. Furthermore, at the end of each lesson there is a question paper that needs to be completed and returned to your tutor. You should allow at least 1 - 2 hours of study to complete each question paper.

The approximate amount of time required to complete the course is: 300 hrs.
