AEA Mathematics Specification Pearson Edexcel Advanced Extension Award in Mathematics First teaching from September 2017 First certification from 2019 Issue 1 Contents 1 Introduction 1 Why choose the Pearson Edexcel Advanced Extension Award in Mathematics? 1 Supporting you in planning and implementing this qualification 2 Qualification at a glance 3 2 Subject content and assessment information 4 Assessment Objectives 6 3 Administration and general information 7 Entries 7 Access arrangements, reasonable adjustments, special consideration and malpractice 7 Student recruitment and progression 10 Appendix 1: The context for the development of this qualification 13 Appendix 2: Transferable skills 15 Appendix 3: Codes 16 1 Introduction Why choose the Pearson Edexcel Advanced Extension Award in Mathematics? We have listened to feedback from all parts of the mathematics subject community, including higher education. We have used this opportunity of curriculum change to redesign a qualification that reflects the demands of a wide variety of end users, as well as retaining many of the features that have contributed to the increasing popularity of GCE Mathematics in recent years. We provide the following. ● A simple, intuitive specification, with the same content as GCE Advanced Level in Mathematics, so that there is no new content to teach students who want to take this Pearson Edexcel Advanced Extension Award (AEA) in Mathematics. ● Clear, familiar examinations – the Advanced Extension Award (AEA) exams are necessarily demanding but with the assessment approach staying the same, exams will follow a similar format to legacy AEA papers. ● Exam practice to fully prepare students for examinations. Although the content is the same as the GCE Advanced Level in Mathematics, the assessment is significantly different, so some practice to prepare for the exam is essential.

It replaces the existing A-level points system. The new system was developed to reflect a wider range of qualifications currently offered by applicants to and accepted by Higher Education Institutions. It also embraces substantial reforms to post-16 qualifications implemented from September 2000, popularly known as Curriculum 2000. These reforms completely restructured GCE A/AS levels, replaced the Advanced GNVQ with a suite of VCE awards, and introduced more emphasis on the attainment of Key Skills. For the first time, the points system accommodates Scottish Framework Qualifications.

GCE Advanced Level 1 GCE Advanced Level
GCE Advanced Level 1 GCE Advanced Level The Advanced Level General Certificate of Education, commonly referred to as an A-level, is a qualification offered by education institutions in England, Northern Ireland and Wales. It is also offered by a small minority of institutions, typically private, in Scotland, where students usually take Highers and Advanced Highers of the Scottish Qualifications Certificate instead. A levels are usually studied over a two year period and are widely recognised around the world, as well as being the standard entry qualification for assessing the suitability of applicants for academic courses in UK universities. In The UK A levels are part of the tertiary Further Education (FE) process in the United Kingdom. A levels can also be studied by students in the last two years (12 and 13) in a Sixth Form at secondary school. This is an integrated part of a Secondary Education institution in many areas of the country, while others have separate Sixth Form Colleges. This is normally done as a direct continuation of the secondary education process and hence most students study for the qualification from age 16 to 18. In the UK, A level results have risen for twenty-five years in a row, with a 2005 pass rate (A–E) of 96.2%.[7] For the June 2005 series, a total of 783,878 (359,284 male, 424,594 female) candidates received their full A level results;[8] for the AS-level, it was 1,079,566 (492,248 male, 587,318 female).[9] 22.8% of A level final results were graded A; 23.8%, B; 23.3%, C; 17.2%, D; 9.1%, E; and 3.8% were
