Updated: 2026-10-21

**The short answer.** A ready-made A Level Further Mathematics program is planned for Tutix. Until it is ready, you can start an A Level Further Mathematics class today: type the subject, add your syllabus or notes, and the AI tutor teaches it live, reads your answers and remembers each class. This page explains how Cambridge 9231 is examined.

- Cambridge syllabus 9231
- Ready-made program planned; classes built from your syllabus today
- Exams are in the June and November series; there is no March series for this subject.
- AS is the first half of an A Level

## Where Tutix is today

A ready-made A Level Further Mathematics program is planned and not available yet. You can start a A Level Further Mathematics class now: the tutor teaches live from your syllabus or notes. Ready-made programs exist for other courses.

## The qualification

Cambridge International AS & A Level Further Mathematics is syllabus 9231. The syllabus for exams in 2026 and 2027 is the 2026-2027 syllabus (version 3); a 2028-2030 syllabus follows. Exams are in the June and November series; there is no March series for this subject. AS candidates are eligible for grades a to e (in lower case) and A Level candidates for A* to E.

## The papers

| Paper | Title | Time | Marks | AS share | A Level share |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Further Pure Mathematics 1 | 2 h | 75 | 60% | 30% |
| 2 | Further Pure Mathematics 2 | 2 h | 75 | Not offered | 30% |
| 3 | Further Mechanics | 1 h 30 | 50 | 40% | 20% |
| 4 | Further Probability & Statistics | 1 h 30 | 50 | 40% | 20% |

For AS, take Paper 1 plus either Paper 3 or Paper 4. For the A Level, take all four papers. A scientific calculator is expected; graphical calculators are not permitted.

## What the marks test

At both AS and A Level, Cambridge gives 45% to knowledge and understanding and 55% to application and communication. Cambridge calls these weightings approximate.

| Assessment objective | AS Level | A Level |
| --- | --- | --- |
| AO1 Knowledge and understanding | 45% | 45% |
| AO2 Application and communication | 55% | 55% |

| Assessment objective | Paper 1 | Paper 2 | Paper 3 | Paper 4 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| AO1 Knowledge and understanding | 45% | 45% | 45% | 45% |
| AO2 Application and communication | 55% | 55% | 55% | 55% |

## What the syllabus covers

Cambridge's A Level Further Mathematics syllabus is divided into four content sections, each with the numbered sub-topics below.

- Further Pure Mathematics 1 (Paper 1): Roots of polynomial equations, Rational functions and graphs, Summation of series, Matrices, Polar coordinates, Vectors, Proof by induction
- Further Pure Mathematics 2 (Paper 2): Hyperbolic functions, Matrices, Differentiation, Integration, Complex numbers, Differential equations
- Further Mechanics (Paper 3): Motion of a projectile, Equilibrium of a rigid body, Circular motion, Hooke’s law, Linear motion under a variable force, Momentum
- Further Probability & Statistics (Paper 4): Continuous random variables, Inference using normal and t-distributions, 2, Non-parametric tests, Probability generating functions

## How to prepare with Tutix today

Type A Level Further Mathematics in the class wizard, attach your own notes or syllabus if you have them, choose a tutor and join: the tutor teaches on a shared whiteboard and reads what you write while you are still in class.

A class, opened. A sample written to show how a class sounds (not a real learner); the scores show how the exam would credit each answer.

> **Further Pure Mathematics 1 · Complex numbers.** Question: Find the modulus of the complex number 3 + 4i.
> The student wrote: 3 + 4 = 7 (the exam would credit 0 of 2)
> The tutor: The modulus is a distance: how far 3 + 4i is from the origin on the Argand diagram. Picture the right-angled triangle with sides 3 and 4.
> The student then wrote: |3 + 4i| = √(3^2 + 4^2) = √25 = 5. (the exam would credit 2 of 2)

> **What the tutor will not do.** It is built to explain and give feedback, not to write coursework, practical write-ups or any work you hand in as your own. It helps you understand the topic and what a strong answer needs, so the work stays yours.

## What a ready-made program adds, and what it costs

Ready-made programs, such as IGCSE Physics, come with lessons and questions reviewed in advance, at five levels. The Free plan includes 45 live class minutes a month with no card; see the plans.

The twelve ready-made programs are drawn to scale, with a real lesson to read, on the Programs page.
