EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT A LEVEL MATHS (gcse to a level) 

HAHA

I’m so glad to hear that! 😌🥳

Do it! I always tell students that they haven't actually studied any maths until year 13. After Y12, it starts to become a far more dynamic subject. As they say - the most creative people in this world are musicians and mathematicians :D

@@HarrySurplus Is the TI-36X Pro calculator allowed for the new A level maths and further maths, or is only the TI- 30X pro calculator allowed for A level maths and further maths? As I have not got the casio fx981EX calculator as of yet due to the recent Corona virus pandemic and lockdown restrictions but as my older brother has kindly let me borrow his Texas Instruments calculators he used. As I am taking A level Edexcel maths. I was therefore wondering if you could possibly have any advice thanks, Tom.

@@mathstutor87 Exactly. Not just mathematicians but even students who study maths. There's a lot of out of the box thinking involved once the problems get harder

how is it going so far? Im in yr 11 and wanting to do it

Best of luck for a level!

Same, I’ve literally forgotten everything

I am working at an 8 and have never revised lol

yay thanks for watching! ♥️

Dont fall for the core maths meme

@@asaL934 Is core maths not a good subject to take?

@@ibrahims907 it's a btec, take it by all means but dont think of it as a substitute for a level maths

@@asaL934 I know its a Btec, I’m considering on taking it in year 13 as some universities consider that as an alternative if your gcse maths grades aren’t at a grade 6

@@Charlotte-wk1dy thank you for the kindness!!

Fantastic. Well done on the 9! 👏🏼

Zack N thank you!

thank you! 😊

glad it was reasurring!

ruthy Thank you! & yes any extra maths will be useful! 👍🏼

Thank you so much!! 😁

@@HarrySurplus yeah no problem man, you deserve more clout because you really are supportive

Zack N hi Zack

Yes, getting a tutor can really help, I know people who have gone from a C in GCSE maths to an A grade at A level maths because they got a tutor over the summer holidays and actually started to understand the concepts.

best of luck with further maths!

Nope, you don’t need both! I have a video on the calculators on my channel

Hello! A Level Maths is very useful for business & economics related careers. A Level maths is heavily algebra based, but not all algebra. It is a vital skill you will need to learn to take a level, but as long as you have the basics (factoring, expanding, quadratics, algebraic fractions, trig) then you should be ok because these topics are slightly recapped & then built on at a level. I would recommend you do it! It is a fun course!

Best of luck!

i think it's just the A Level exam! sorry for late reply. but double check

Of course it will be hard work doing 4 a levels (especially doing further maths as there is so much to learn), but if you enjoy maths and have a passion for the subject i'd 100% take further maths, it really develops your knowledge! - physics is also great to do along further maths!

I may be a bit late coz your either in the same boat as me currently or you dropped one, I’ve basically had to let chemistry go and accept that I don’t have the time to get an A* in all 4. further maths and physics take up most of my time and maths barely any because FM improves your normal maths a lot

whoops

My book isn't available anymore :( sorry

Take maths or check othe university requirements

Hello! If you want to do computer science and they require maths then definitely take maths. Maths comes with practice so keep practising!

I got a 6 in maths but I’m currently working at an A/B from AS - I know people who got a 9 in maths and are working at E’s and D’s so GCSEs don’t define you and what you are working at

A tutor can really help, it has taken people from a C grade to and A Grade, a tutor will really help you understand the concepts which is the whole point of maths, understanding and applying concepts.

@courtney literally i really want to do it

i'm doing a maths degree!

Don't take business as it's basically economics but simpler. Uni's always prefer econ than business, I don't know if you need physics but as you're taking maths it definitely has elements of physics in it

If you’re looking into engineering, physics is a must have. As Seth said, don’t take business. You should pick physics instead of business and if you don’t like it you have a couple weeks where you can switch A-Levels (however this would result in you being a bit behind on content).

@@johnfalcon1631 what’s wrong with business studies? I’m wanting to be a stock broker and people are telling me it’s a must have subject for it

Kinda late but its down to practice and just seeing a lot of different situations. Don't be afraid to grt things wrong and follow ideas that you come up with that might not lead to the answer. Generally, IBP it's best for products of functions or of you have a function which you can differentiate using u= f(x) and dv/dx =1. Remember that a lot of the time when you have fractions, partial fractions is really useful and also re writing the numerator and breaking up the fraction into multiple fractions can help. Use substitution for fractions with complicated denominators as it's easier to work with a complicated numerator and also use it when you can spot a derivative being cancelled out or a trig identity. Also remember to look for f'(x) /f(x) because that just integrates to ln(x) 👍🏽👍🏽

yes, its

If you’re already good at maths & enjoy it then consider taking it. Don’t listen to anybody else apart from yourself. If you want to do - do it. If you don’t, don’t! 😁

if you're willing to work and practice maths ... then anything is possible i say

@Red Wall I got a 151/ 160 intermediate, which is a 40 marks over a B , and got predicted an A*. I don't know numbers as I'm doing wjec, but I'm still really unsure weather I'll be able to cope,. I know I can pick it up easy, but don't want to be kicked out because im taking longer on GCSE higher bits bc I've never done it.

I've uploaded a video on how to get better at maths which includes lots of tips! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AP-3blSFVCU.html&ab_channel=HarrySurplus

I got a 6 in GCSE maths and let me tell practice is key, there’s a lot more maths at a level maths and it’s more understandable maths in my opinion

You’ve got to interact with lessons!

lol

yes!

yh

GCSE grades!

I’m playing in 2x lol

wow thanks haha ... now FOCUS

He really is🙈

GURL ikr like how 👀

@@b4brigitte what!

Nope! You shouldn’t

Absolutely!

I got a 6 and I may not be allowed, I'll have to fight for it!

Jezmo why’s that? The entry requirement to do a level maths is a 6 in my school

Jezmo anyways good luck !

Furthermathssupport hi I appreciate the help but I’ve clicked on the click and it’s saying the server cannot be found

That’s like the same with me, I started this school year in Foundation being ungraded and now I recently got a 6 on my test. I just did any math mock and it went pretty good since I revised a lot for it, I hope I get a 7.

@@muzamilyasin8360 what do you use to revise? could you give me any sources by any chance or advice?

fantastic! well done

Also this has given me so much confidence thank you!!

Hellloo! Glad you found the video useful! A level maths is challenging & can be hard at times, but it’s definitely a good a level to have if your wanting to do computer science. Like I said in the video you are slowly introduced to a level topics & it’s not really hard as soon as you start. If you are willing to work, you want to do well & have a positive mindset I’m sure you would be able to do a level maths. Like you said, you’re trying really hard at the minute and are on a grade 7 so that’s brilliant. Most colleges require a grade 6/7 for a level maths. Hope that answer helped you slightly! Keep me updated on what you decide to do!!

@@HarrySurplus thank you so much!!! It has given me so much confidence in my decision! I will definitely let you know!

I got a 7 in maths and im struggling doinmaths alevel only do it if u really love it and don’t care abt your social life

@@Deezmxc damn so it's really that hard

I would definitely take a level maths for engineering!

Bro same

It may have changed ! This video was filmed a while ago when I was doing my a levels

thank you hahahaha

it was allowed when i did my a levels, but do check with the exam boards regulations!

Nope I wouldn’t think so

thats good, you need maths for a comp sci degree, but why not take comp sci for ur a levels?

@@flixemerson4191 my school doesn’t do it and I also didn’t do the best at it as I was dumb and didn’t revise it at all at gcse. My school does offer a btec in IT but i can’t do further maths if I pick jt

@@QuandaleRizzler32 ok fair, i would say just do some coding and learn about computer science at home through sixth form so you wont be so behind when you get to uni

@@flixemerson4191 I was thinking about doing a gap year for uni where I would focus on learning code and computer science knowledge

@@QuandaleRizzler32 nahhh dont think its necessary, plus you might forget ur maths knowledge.

I've had a search online and I think it is. Do check with your school though as the calculator has functions that you won't use at GCSE ,so might be better to get a different one such as the Casio FX-85GTX!

Ok

Is Casio fx cg50 suitable for gsce

are you ? pls respond

@@skoldzz5425 no Later I dropped it... Am I good with it

hey, the A level course runs over two years, so AS level is the topics you learn in the first year, whereas A level is what you learn in the second year. Usually people use the term ‘A level’ more as they refer to the topics you learn over the two years :)

Hello! It's hard to give you an answer as I'm not 100% sure on your situation, but like I mentioned in the video most colleges/sixth forms require a grade 6 or above to do a level maths. If you're wanting to do a maths or maths related degree at university then do speak to your teachers again to see what you can do, because you will need a level maths for a maths or maths related degree. However, if you're your not thinking of that then maybe do have a look at other a levels you can take and which will suit you! Hope that helps 😌

hellooo! My website isn’t live anymore unfortunately!

@@HarrySurplus Is your book still available? I want to buy it as i’m at a 6/7 in maths right now but want to take a level and prepare for it :)

As someone who’s doing A level maths and got a 7 at GCSE it’s not as hard as people make it out. You just need to revise a couple hours a week which you should do anyway

@@wasd4542 Exactly. But further mathematics is a lot harder

@@wasd4542 Like in A level maths if you understand all the concepts and know al the formulas and stuff then it shouldn't be really that hard. But in further mathematics there are questions which really require out of the box thinking and stuff

A level maths just relies on how much you understand concepts. If you want to challenge yourself take further mathematics

if you're willing to work hard and challenge yourself then you'll be great! it's when you don't interact with your class and ask questions you struggle

You might find it hard

at a 5/6 you may need to work harder than others at 7/8/9 however, if you enjoy maths & are willing to work then its definitely possible

@@HarrySurplus I got a grade8 in maths, I want to do it also with business studies and economics. Any opinions on if I should do it. Have to get them submitted by monday

At least your teacher was honest 😂

@@w7n424 that's really the last thing I want to read right now..

Bro honestly I had the same concern I got a 6 at GCSE and am doing A level maths now finding it pretty easy so far. Don't worry about your grades just make sure you like maths. If you genuinely enjoy maths you will do well.

agreed!

@@InexorableVideos wont be easy in a2 haha

That depends on how it is being taught. Also keep in mind that many people like to lie to you with statistics. Being able to identify those lies gives you an edge in real life situations. Despite my love of physics, I would say that to the average person knowing some statistics is more useful than knowing some mechanics. If you know both, great for you!

I also got a 9 in maths but idk if I should do it. I’ve always been told ‘don’t do maths if you don’t need it cuz it’s very hard’ so I picked economics instead but I don’t have an interest in it. I forgot everything in maths cuz of the summer (except basics ofc) but idk if I should pick it. What do you think?

@@hafsamohamed9290 A level maths is difficult I agree but A levels are entirely your choice and what you feel you will enjoy don't put yourself in a subject your not gonna enjoy, trust me follow your heart and make the decision that will suit you best. ☺

@@K_10107 how is a level maths, did you pick it?

@@zq1921 Yep, I'm in yr13 so A levels will be this year. It was difficult at the beginning because it is a big jump from GCSE and a lot harder as it is not as easy to get to the answer however with lots of exam practice I feel my confidence is a lot better.

@@K_10107 damn thanks for the help. Also I want to ask should I get a folder for a level maths or will a notebook be ok

Depends on the topic! Definitely focus on the topics you find more difficult

@@HarrySurplus Thanks for your reply. Can you remember the frequency you re-revised triginometry?

BlackAmex Vlogs really 😏

Bruh

This comment is almost a bit sad really

Im not trying to be rude but dont , with a 4 u probably wont even be allowed in

thats a c- at gcse which is only 20% to get. u will have no shot at a level maths m8

hang in there and keep working, you got this!

Same and I can’t deal with it 😭😭

@@neighbourhoodcircus xD I want to drop it so bad but right now I'm trying to change Bio to Economics so I gotta wait for a bit longer :( If I can't get economics then I have to chose between bio or further maths to drop -w-

Candii oh vid that sounds so hectic, I need to do maths for what I want to study in university so I’m basically screwed 😭are you in first year like ?

@@neighbourhoodcircus Yep, I'm first year! I finally changed from Bio to Economics and my Bio teacher was NOT happy, she pulled me aside when we were lining up and she was SO salty lol xD I felt kinda bad but welp economics is actually a huge jump in difficulty from Bio so I'm not regretting my decision right now, though rumor as it that my school is getting ready to surprise us with some papers in October so I hope I can quickly catch up on content XD

Candii oh god yeah same we have our mocks in November and I am not prepared at all 😭I genuinely hate maths and chemistry so much and I’m terrible at them but I have to push through and get on with it😅what a bitch, why were they so salty like ? Do you live down south cause everyone up north does their first papers in November time ? I’m also first year !!
