Mathematics

Minimum entry requirements

To successfully study Cambridge International AS and A Level with us, students need to have attained:

• a grade C (or grade 4) and above in IGCSE English and Mathematics (or the equivalent in an internationally recognised qualification).
• a grade B (or grade 6) and above in IGCSE Mathematics (or the equivalent in an internationally recognised qualification)

It is the school’s responsibility to ensure that the student has met these minimum entry requirements. Pamoja Taught courses and Pamoja teachers assume that these minimum entry requirements have been met and the student therefore has the necessary foundational knowledge and ability to work at the pace required by the course.

Cambridge International calculator guidance

International AS and A Level Mathematics students will require a scientific calculator when studying the course and for examinations. As stated below, Cambridge International allows for a wide range of calculators to be used in examinations. Pamoja teachers have suggested the Casio ClassWiz models as suitable for this course, such as the fx-991 EX. Candidates can use programmable calculators [in examinations]. However, calculators with any of the following facilities are not allowed, unless stated otherwise in the syllabus:

• graphic display
• data banks
• dictionaries
• language translators
• retrieval or manipulation of text or formulae
• QWERTY keyboards
• built-in symbolic algebraic manipulations (output must be numeric not algebraic)
• symbolic differentiation or integration (output must be numeric not algebraic)
• capability of any remote communication
