| Route | Code | Written papers |
|---|---|---|
| Mathematics A | H240 | Pure; Pure and Statistics; Pure and Mechanics. Each lasts 2 hours. |
| Mathematics B, MEI | H640 | Pure and Mechanics; Pure and Statistics; Pure and Comprehension. Each lasts 2 hours. |
For Mathematics A, the three papers carry equal weight. MEI uses a different weighting and includes a comprehension task. Whichever route you follow, explain your first decision before calculating. A tutor can ask why you chose a substitution, what a sketch suggests or whether a model’s assumptions are reasonable. Those questions help develop a method you can use independently.
A careful start
Read the whole problem, identify the target and choose a useful representation before launching into algebra.
A second method
Compare two valid approaches. Discuss which steps are clearer and which errors are easier to spot.
A transfer question
Attempt a related problem with less help. Explain what stayed the same and what needed changing.
This page is a broad OCR listing. Confirm H240 or H640 with the tutor before booking. Do not assume a tutor’s general OCR listing establishes experience of both routes.
Ask your tutor about the data set prescribed for your course and exam series. Work on interpretation alongside the calculations rather than learning isolated facts about the data.
Bring a question you could not finish to the free 15-minute introduction. Discuss your course, the kind of support you want and how lessons could develop your independence.
