A-Level Maths is considered to be one of the most academically challenging options a student can select. It requires a solid understanding of mathematical concepts, as well as the consistent and accurate application of formulas. As such, students are often left floundering among a busy syllabus. The most important thing to realise is that A-Level Maths, much like any subject, can be managed with effective study habits and a thorough understanding of the demands of the syllabus. There are three main areas on the A-Level Maths syllabus – Pure Maths, Statistics and Mechanics. As they all require different skills, students who find one area difficult, might find another area come more easily. It’s important to have a complete understanding of all the skills required for all topics, and that might involve reaching out for support to ensure that you are achieving your potential in your study of A-Level Maths.

Due to the wide range of topics in the A-Level Maths course, there are a seemingly endless number of pitfalls for students throughout the course. Many students cite Integration and Vectors as two of the toughest areas of the course, but they can be conquered with effective study habits. A-Level Maths is a busy course, and its pace can be relentless for a student who is not adequately prepared. Consequently, we would always recommend that students start getting familiar with the course’s demands even before it starts. Spending the summer refamiliarising yourself with your knowledge of Maths through revising the previous year’s topics is a good first step to ensure that A-Level Maths is not too overwhelming.

As said above, A-Level Maths is designed to be a challenge for any student, but that does not mean that they have to be overwhelmed by it. There are many ways that students can manage their time and their curriculum to ensure success in their exams. For example, using knowledge gained from other subjects can certainly help with understanding difficult concepts. If a student is doing Physics, it would be a good idea to apply this learning to A-Level Maths as well, and vice versa. Elsewhere, the analytical and evaluative skills found in humanities subjects such as English and History can also support the study of Maths. Staying on top of notes from class is always an important piece of advice that seems like common sense, but is often forgotten about by stressed students. Handwriting notes allows the information to be more easily digested and remembered, and is a useful tactic for determining what a student has clearly understood, compared to areas that may require further examination. Just like any academic subject, A-Level Maths is both a challenge and an opportunity for students to develop important study skills and habits.
