Begin remaining AL course content: Algebraic and partial fractions, further trigonometry, further differentiation.
Internal test of 50 minutes duration on all topics covered once the relevant unit on Edexcel scheme of work is completed. Pure Maths is 62.5% of the Year 12 course. It is assessed through a 2 hour exam (internal) at the end of Year 12. Statistics and Mechanics are 37.5% of the course and are assessed by a 1h15m internal paper at the end of Y12. A suitable calculator is required (e.g. Casio Class Wizz).
