AS Level (Year 12)
OCR A Level Mathematics (H240) is linear, with content typically taught across Year 12 (AS portion) and Year 13 (A2 portion). All three papers sat at the end of Year 13.
Full A Level (Year 13)
Three papers: Paper 1 (Pure, 100 marks, 2 hours), Paper 2 (Pure + Statistics, 100 marks), Paper 3 (Pure + Mechanics, 100 marks). Pure content dominates, with Statistics and Mechanics covered alongside.
Exam series
Single summer exam series at the end of Year 13. No modular re-sits — full re-take the following year if needed.
Grade boundaries
Grade A* typically requires around 80% overall (varies per series). OCR publishes grade boundaries with the August results.
Content we cover one-to-one
- ✓Pure — proof, algebra, functions, coordinate geometry, sequences, trigonometry, exponentials & logarithms
- ✓Pure — differentiation, integration, numerical methods, vectors
- ✓Mechanics — kinematics in 1D and 2D, forces, Newton's laws, moments
- ✓Statistics — probability, statistical distributions, hypothesis testing, sampling, data presentation
- ✓Large Data Set — OCR-specified dataset for the statistics paper
