A-Level Mathematics
The current A-level Maths specification makes it possible for a hardworking well organised student to get a good grade, even if they are not a brilliant gifted mathematician. To pass A-level mathematics you need to take six modules, normally over two years. You can re-take modules and you can improve your grades, significantly, through practicing exam questions and one-to-one tuition. ( If you are a brilliant gifted mathematician, I think you should be taking Further Maths and maybe trying the Step papers before university).
However, to be comfortable on any A-level course you still need to have reliable algebra; understand basic trigonometry; be comfortable with manipulating fractions and negative numbers, and be positive and persistent in solving longer problems. There is a big jump from GCSE.
