The exams will measure how students have achieved the following assessment objectives:
• AO1: Recall and select knowledge of mathematical facts, concepts, models and techniques required to solve problems in a variety of contexts.
• AO2: Construct rigorous mathematical arguments and proofs through use of precise statements, mathematical manipulation, logical deduction, modelling assumptions and justifications to solve structured and unstructured problems, and to deduce, interpret and communicate results.
Resits
- Candidates may re-sit a unit any number of times.
- The best result for each unit will count towards the final qualification.
- Candidates who wish to repeat a qualification may do so by re-sitting one or more units.
