Awarding A-Level Symbolic Maths Modules

There are two ways in which A-Level Symbolic Maths modules wilkl be awarded,they will either counted in A2 Maths or AS Symbolic Math,a trial AS only available at AS Level.

The Three Symbolic Maths Modules,available for study are:

PCS1/SY1-This counts as either the 1st of 2 A2 Maths modules that allow you to get the A* at A-Level and it must be took alongside PCS2/SY2 or as the 1st AS module of AS Symbolic Math.It can only count in AS Symbolic Math,if you have completed both C3 and C4 A2 modules of A-Level Maths.The content of this module mainly focuses on Lateral and Non-Lateral Solutions,along with knowledge of the different number systems and converting between them and basic knowledge of the role of symbols.

MPCS2/MSY2-This counts as either the 2nd of 2 A2 Maths modules that allow you to get the A* at A-Level and it must be took alongside PCS1/SY1 or as the 2nd AS module of AS Symbolic Math.It can only count in AS Symbolic Math,if you have completed both C3 and C4 A2 modules of A-Level Maths.The content of this module furthers upon SY1/PCS1 by looking mainly at the roles of a variety of symbols,instead of just how numbers react without them,which is the main focus in PCS1/SY1-the content includes the role of the multipication symbol,divide symbol,addition symbol,subtract symbol,ratio symbol,power symbol and also inclyudes an introduction to Exponentiation Ladders.

ASY-This is Applied Symbolic Math and this module only counts as the 3rd AS module of Symbolic Maths and can't count as an applied module in any other Maths A-Level,if both C3 and C4 haven't been completed this module won't be awarded.The content of this module is applying your knowledge,it will include a mixture of topics from the 1st 2 modules but with an applied focus and including longer worded questions and includes knowledge of the use of statiscal knowledge to find the most likely solution and inequalities to show the range of values possible and questions could include aspects of Chemistry,Physics,Business and Computing,with specifid scenarios in these subjects questioned requiring knowledge of Symbolicv Math and these areas.

PS:AS Symbolic Mathematics is the only AS you can achieve an A* in because it can only be took at AS and because it includes modules that could be took as the A* modules in A-Level Mathematics.You will gewt an A* in Symbolic Mathematics if you achieve 240+/300 for the AS and 180+/200 for SY1 and SY2.
