The qualification
OCR A Level Mathematics A (H240)
Marlbridge's summary of the course
Our new A Level Mathematics A qualification has been developed to provide students with a coherent course of study to develop mathematical understanding. Students are encouraged to think, act and communicate mathematically, providing them with the skills to analyse situations in mathematics and elsewhere.
The board's own description is on the official OCR syllabus page.
Qualification number 603/1038/8.
Specifications change between examination series. Always confirm the current syllabus and assessment structure on the OCR syllabus page for your examination year.
Assessment structure
Linear qualification
| Component | Duration | Marks | Weighting | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| H240/01: Pure Mathematics | 2h | 100 | 33.33% | Written exam |
| H240/02: Pure Mathematics and Statistics | 2h | 100 | 33.33% | Written exam |
| H240/03: Pure Mathematics and Mechanics | 2h | 100 | 33.34% | Written exam |
Source: official OCR specification, verified 2026-08-28. Directly confirmed against OCR's own live A Level Mathematics A (H240) "Specification at a glance" page (2026-08-28). Component 01 "Pure mathematics", Component 02 "Pure mathematics and statistics" (~50 pure/~50 statistics, some questions on a pre-release data set) and Component 03 "Pure mathematics and mechanics" (~50 pure/~50 mechanics) are each 100 marks, 2 hours, printed as "33⅓%" weighting. Students must take all three components. Weightings recorded as 33.33/33.33/33.34 so the typed total sums to exactly 100%.
