Do I have to do any coursework?
The Mathematics GCSE and Further Mathematics qualification do not involve
any coursework.
How much homework will I have to do?
Students will continue to use Hegarty Maths and follow their personalised
revision timetable as outlined previously.
How will I be assessed on this course?
The Edexcel GCSE in Mathematics qualification consists of three equallyweighted
written examination papers at either foundation tier or higher tier.
All three papers must be at the same tier of entry and must be completed in
the same assessment series. Paper 1 is a non-calculator assessment and a
calculator is allowed for Paper 2 and Paper 3. Each paper is 1 hour and 30
minutes long and each paper has 80 marks. Throughout Year 10 and Year 11,
a number of internal assessments will be held under formal conditions to
ensure that student’s progress is carefully, accurately and regularly monitored.
Where can I find out more about this qualification?
You can come and speak with any member of the Mathematics department
who will be able to answer your questions. You can also look in more detail at
