Preparing for this qualification · Preparación para esta cualificación
- Each examined unit is 90 minutes and 75 marks; calculators must not provide symbolic algebra, differentiation, integration or stored retrievable formulae.
- Use the IAL Mathematical Formulae and Statistical Tables booklet, not the UK GCE booklet. A unit may require preceding-unit formulae.
- D1 has no archived paper pairs in this collection. Original D1 teaching does not fill that bank gap.
- IAS: FP1 and two permitted options. IAL: FP1, at least one of FP2/FP3 and four remaining permitted units, with six distinct units total.
- Mathematics and Further Mathematics together need twelve distinct contributing units: no double use of M1, S1 or any other unit. Validate a final allocation with the centre and Pearson eligibility rules.
Teaching coverage still needed · Cobertura docente aún necesaria
- Official question-bank boundaries, scheme alignment and all objective-level teaching coverage require the recorded review; no practice registry promotion.
- The authored diagnostic assessments are not full-length qualification mocks.
