Thinking of teaching this qualification?

The final assessment opportunity for this qualification FSMQ - Foundations of Advanced Mathematics (MEI) – 6989 will be summer 2018. There will not be a resit opportunity. For more information and alternative qualifications, see the withdrawal notice.

This course was a broad-based course covering arithmetic, algebra, graphs, trigonometry and statistics; this contrasts with other Intermediate FSMQs which look at self-contained areas of the subject in depth. Assessment was by a two hour examination consisting of 40 multiple choice questions. Computers, graphical calculators and those with computer algebra facilities are not permitted.
