Bridging the Gap

If you are starting an A-Level Maths course (or just thinking about it) in September, it is important that you are ready for the step up. 

The best way to prepare yourself is to make sure you have a firm grasp of the knowledge and skills you have already developed at GCSE level. 

There are a number of key skills which you need to make sure you are confident with before starting the A-Level course - these are used regularly in the first year of the A-Level course. It is essential that you are not struggling with skills when you are trying to learn more advanced material for the first time.

This set of resources is designed to help you check if you are up to speed and to help you fill in any gaps. If you do this you will put yourself in a good position to start the A-Level Maths course.

Some GCSE topics are more important than others for A-Level.  The list on this page are the ones you should prioritise. If you have any areas where you are less confident, that you do some work on them. If you do this, it will save time in the long run. This page has some questions to help you practice as well as some links to things to help you get up to speed.
