The Advanced FSMQ, Additional Mathematics, is worth UCAS points for university admissions, and introduces students to the power and elegance of advanced mathematics.

The Intermediate FSMQ, Foundations of Advanced Mathematics (MEI), is designed to provide access to AS/A Level GCE Mathematics for those not yet ready to take them.
