Is A-level Math difficult?

ITT – A-level Math is an advanced Math programs for high school students who wants to attend further education and is a certification recognized by most universities in England. However, is A-level Math difficult?

If students have finished IGCSE Math and already taken the test, they can continue with this A-level Math program and take another test to get its certifications and gain chances to be admitted in prestigious universities, especially those in England.

A-level Math provides students with advanced and strong mathematic knowledge along with essential skills for studying. A-level Math is a 2-year curriculum which consists of 6 parts in which 3 AS parts are for the first year and 3 A2 parts are for the second year. Among those parts, 4 are the core which provides Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry and Calculus techniques. After each studying year, students will have to take a test to get the certification of that year and the total A-level score will be the average score of the two tests.

If you compare IGCSE as the level of grade 9 or 10 in Vietnam, A-level Math can be equivalent to grade 11 and 12. However, students easily find the gap between IGCSE and A-level is big. This may be because most students are familiar with the habits of only studying when they don’t understand or stopping when a topic is finished. In order to successfully master A-level Math, students need to constantly review and practice various types of exercises because firstly, most knowledge of this program is advanced and difficult, secondly, all parts are connected to each other. In order to solve a problem of a topic, it requires knowledge from other topics. More importantly, students also need to integrate and expand the vision on a problem.

As we can see, for A-level Math, even though it is not an easy subject, you won’t find many difficulties if you study hard and continuously doing exercises from basic to advanced level over and over again, pay attention to the lessons in classes, don’t neglect or ignore any part and most importantly, have an assistant from a professional and experienced person in this field by enrolling in after school tutoring programs. By doing this, you will catch up with classes and have a strong knowledge foundation before planning to studying abroad, especially in England.
