Level 2 Certificate in Further Mathematics (8365)

• Specification and Specimen papers
• Past papers
• 5-9 grading
• Two, equally weighted, papers (1h 45 and 80 marks each).

AQA Level 2 Certificate in Further Maths is a unique qualification designed to stretch and challenge high achieving mathematicians who

• either already have, or are expected to achieve the top grades in GCSE Mathematics
• are likely to progress to A-level study in Mathematics and possibly Further Mathematics

It complements GCSE Maths by encouraging students' higher Mathematical skills, particularly algebraic reasoning. It builds on the Key Stage 4 curriculum and is intended as an additional qualification to GCSE Mathematics, rather than as a replacement. It doesn't infringe upon AS Level Maths but does help students prepare for the extra rigour required in further studies at Level 3.
