What is true of all of them
All seven are linear: every paper is sat in the same examination series at the end of the course, and there is nothing to bank along the way.
Three of them print more papers than anybody sits. Edexcel lists eight optional papers for Further Mathematics and a candidate takes two; OCR lists four for Further Mathematics A and a candidate takes two; AQA issues its Further Mathematics Paper 3 as three separately coded booklets and a candidate sits two of them. Adding such a table up gives a number no candidate is ever marked out of, and each qualification page below states the total a candidate is actually graded against.
Two years look missing from every board’s list and are not. There was no summer series in 2020 or in 2021; an autumn series was sat in each of those years instead, and the pages below name the month.
These pages are about the examinations. For what is on each specification, statement by statement, and where each statement is taught here, the specification maps are the other half of the same question.
