Marlbridge's summary of the course
With a focus on Pure Maths, reasoning skills and the real-life application of mathematical concepts, the OxfordAQA International GCSE Mathematics qualification ensures that students have the best possible preparation for A-level, university and beyond.
The board's own description is on the official OxfordAQA syllabus page.
Content is organised into four areas — number, algebra, geometry and measures, and probability and statistics — assessed across two linear papers with no coursework. Candidates sit either the Core tier (grades 1-5) or the Extension tier (grades 4-9); both papers in a tier are equally weighted and a scientific calculator is permitted throughout. First teaching September 2016, first examined May/June 2018.
Specifications change between examination series. Always confirm the current syllabus and assessment structure on the OxfordAQA syllabus page for your examination year.
