The subject at a glance.

  • Algebra and functions
  • Geometry and trigonometry
  • Numerical and reasoning skills

These are broad subject themes, not an exhaustive syllabus or a promise of topic coverage at every level. Use your qualification-level specification and confirm taught options, coursework and practical requirements with your teacher.

A useful way to prepare

Show your working. Practise the non-calculator paper without a calculator and use your level-specific formula sheet.

Check with your school or college

  • Your exact qualification entry, taught options and personal exam timetable.
  • Coursework, practical and performance deadlines; these are not all in the national exam timetable.
  • Permitted equipment, arrival instructions, rooms and any approved assessment arrangements.
