Where Tutix is today
A ready-made A Level Mathematics program is planned and not available yet. You can start a A Level 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 Mathematics is syllabus 9709. The syllabus for exams in 2026 and 2027 is the 2026-2027 syllabus (version 4); a 2028-2030 syllabus follows. Exams are in the June and November series, and in March for centres in India. 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 | Pure Mathematics 1 | 1 h 50 | 75 | 60% | 30% |
| 2 | Pure Mathematics 2 | 1 h 15 | 50 | 40% | AS only |
| 3 | Pure Mathematics 3 | 1 h 50 | 75 | Not offered | 30% |
| 4 | Mechanics | 1 h 15 | 50 | 40% | 20% |
| 5 | Probability & Statistics 1 | 1 h 15 | 50 | 40% | 20% |
| 6 | Probability & Statistics 2 | 1 h 15 | 50 | Not offered | 20% |
For AS, take Paper 1 plus either Paper 4 or Paper 5 (or Paper 1 plus Paper 2, which cannot count towards an A Level). For the A Level, take Papers 1 and 3 plus either Papers 4 and 5, or Papers 5 and 6. A scientific calculator is expected in all exams; graphical or symbolic-algebra calculators are not permitted, and a formula list is supplied.
What the marks test
The weightings differ between AS and A Level: at AS Level the largest share (55%) goes to knowledge and understanding; at A Level the largest share (52%) goes to knowledge and understanding. Cambridge calls these weightings approximate.
| Assessment objective | AS Level | A Level |
|---|---|---|
| AO1 Knowledge and understanding | 55% | 52% |
| AO2 Application and communication | 45% | 48% |
| Assessment objective | Paper 1 | Paper 2 | Paper 3 | Paper 4 | Paper 5 | Paper 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AO1 Knowledge and understanding | 55% | 55% | 45% | 55% | 55% | 55% |
| AO2 Application and communication | 45% | 45% | 55% | 45% | 45% | 45% |

How to prepare with Tutix today
Type A Level 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.

Example
A Level Mathematics · Pure Mathematics 1 · Differentiation
Find the gradient of the curve y = 3x2 − 4x at the point where x = 2.
4 is the height of the curve at x = 2, not its gradient. The gradient is the value of the derivative there. Differentiate first, then substitute.
A sample written to show how a class sounds. The scores show how the exam would credit each answer. Not a real learner.
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.
