Updated: 2026-10-21

**The short answer.** A ready-made A Level Mathematics program is planned for Tutix. Until it is ready, you can start an A Level 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 9709 is examined.

- Cambridge syllabus 9709
- Ready-made program planned; classes built from your syllabus today
- Exams are in the June and November series, and in March for centres in India.
- AS is the first half of an A Level

## 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% |

## What the syllabus covers

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

- Pure Mathematics 1 (Paper 1): Quadratics, Functions, Coordinate geometry, Circular measure, Trigonometry, Series, Differentiation, Integration
- Pure Mathematics 2 (Paper 2): Algebra, Logarithmic and exponential functions, Trigonometry, Differentiation, Integration, Numerical solution of equations
- Pure Mathematics 3 (Paper 3): Algebra, Logarithmic and exponential functions, Trigonometry, Differentiation, Integration, Numerical solution of equations, Vectors, Differential equations, Complex numbers
- Mechanics (Paper 4): Forces and equilibrium, Kinematics of motion in a straight line, Momentum, Newton’s laws of motion, Energy, work and power
- Probability & Statistics 1 (Paper 5): Representation of data, Permutations and combinations, Probability, Discrete random variables, The normal distribution
- Probability & Statistics 2 (Paper 6): The Poisson distribution, Linear combinations of random variables, Continuous random variables, Sampling and estimation, Hypothesis tests

## 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.

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.

> **Pure Mathematics 1 · Differentiation.** Question: Find the gradient of the curve y = 3x^2 − 4x at the point where x = 2.
> The student wrote: 3(2)^2 − 4(2) = 4 (the exam would credit 0 of 3)
> The tutor: 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.
> The student then wrote: dy/dx = 6x − 4, so at x = 2 the gradient is 8. (the exam would credit 3 of 3)

> **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.
