Get Ready for A-Level Maths

This course covers about a third of the first year of A-Level pure maths.  It's perfect for students who have finished or are in the later stages of GCSE or IGCSE maths and are preparing to start or want a taster of A-Level maths.

You will revisit some of the hardest GCSE topics that are most relevant for A-Level, build on what you know and explore new topics that follow on from them.

There are video tutorials and 25 worksheets (every question has a full video solution) with a range of problems. Most of the problems are of A-Level standard, but there are also some very challenging problems in each worksheet that will test the most advanced students.

Watch the video intro in the sidebar or scroll down for much more information or get started with the first parts of the course for free.

What You Will Learn

The course is divided into 25 sections.  There are 5 strands, each with 5 sections, and each of these has a worksheet with video solutions. The topics covered are:

Indices, Surds + Logarithms
Co-Ordinate Geometry + Differentiation
Trigonometry + Trigonometric Equations
Sequences + Series (Arithmetic + Geometric Progressions)
Quadratic Equations and Inequalities (also includes some more general polynomial sketching and inequalities)

Who is this bundle for:

This course is for any student who is about to start A-Level maths or is thinking of taking it in the near future. Like all Mathsaurus courses, it is aimed at relatively strong students. There will likely have achieved high grades at GCSE or IGCSE maths (or be predicted to do so) and will be taking A-Level expecting eventually to achieve a top grade.

This course will set you up to think in the way required for A-Level and get you ahead with some key topics. Whilst most problems are of A-Level standard, you'll also be challenged by some very tough problems in each section, including some in the style of maths challenges or other advanced exams.

I got a 9 in IGCSE Maths and I'm ready for A-Level

I got my IGCSE Mathematics A results last Thursday that I took in January. I got a NINE! This is my first time taking IGCSE (I took it one year earlier), and your ‘Get ready for A-Level Maths courses did help me a lot! Especially on the rationalisation part. Thank you very very much for your incredibly amazing courses!

courses

This course will get you ready for A-level maths. You'll fully understand the hardest GCSE and IGCSE topics and be a step ahead having covered some A-level topics too. Also a great taster course if you're still deciding whether to take A-level maths.

courses

In this course you'll learn about the rules of indices as well as how to rationalise surds in both simple and harder cases. You'll also learn about logarithms and the rules for manipulating them.

courses

Learn about quadratic equations, including other polynomials that are quadratics 'in disguise'. Also covers completed square form, the discriminant, how to solve quadratic inequalities and how to sketch the graph of any polynomial.

courses

Learn to use different forms of the equation of a straight line and about parallel and perpendicular lines. Extend the idea of gradient to curves using differentiation and compute the equations of tangents and normals.

courses

After revising the sine and cosine rules you'll learn about extending sin cos and tan to angles of any size and be confident in solving a range of equations using trig functions, including quadratics and some important trig identities.

courses

This course will teach you different ways to describe sequences and sums of sequences (series) with a particular focus on arithmetic and geometric sequences and series.
