Why Switch to Pearson Edexcel A level Maths?
A level Maths that supports every learner
Our A level Mathematics qualification is designed for everyone. It offers the right level of challenge for high attainers, while also providing accessible opportunities for those who need more support. With a clear structure and a wide range of resources, it helps all students build confidence and succeed. To support a smooth transition, we’ve created free materials you can use with your students as they step up to A level from GCSE.
Know what to expect
Following feedback from teachers and students in 2019, we committed to making our exams clearer, more accessible, and thoughtfully designed to support every learner. With the Pure and Applied course content separated into distinct exam papers this helps students to focus more effectively and feel confident on exam day. Plus, with one consistent large data set used throughout the lifetime of the qualification, there’s no need to get to grips with a new one each year - giving you more time to support your students.
