MEI (OCR B) A-Level maths tuition or MEI a level mathematics year 1  4th edition answers?

Are you looking for MEI a level mathematics year 1 (as) 4th edition answers or Mei A level maths textbook answers and solutions? Or MEI MAths textbook worked solutions?

Then look no further as I am a specialist MEI A level maths tutor and have written solutions for the new textbooks.

I specialise in the NEW MEI A-level maths tuitions for year 12 and year 13.

There are three main A Level Exam boards:

Edexcel, OCR and AQA. Although the new curriculum has changed a lot of assessment methods the core content is roughly the same for all the boards except MEI. MEI stands for Mathematics in Education and Industry and as you can imagine it is very practical based. Questions in the textbook and in the exams are worded very differently and they generally are more practical based than the other exam boards.

Students are assessed on mathematical comprehension also apart from the written exams. Not all tutors who tutor A levels maths are comfortable with MEI A-level maths.

Hence if you are looking for an MEI A Level maths private tuition ensure that the tutor is thorough with the content.

OCR B MEI A Level Maths textbook answers and solutions

I have had students asking for the MEI A Level textbook pdf answers. So I took the time out to write the complete solutions to most of the challenging questions from both the new textbooks.

I have mainly covered solutions to all the mechanics and the statistics chapters as these are the ones students find very challenging. Please get in touch if you wish to access these solutions. These are written neatly and with full explanations along with diagrams where necessary.

This is a sample of what you will get in the solutions: Please note that these solutions are chargeable as I spend a considerable amount of time  preparing these

Exe 2.2 (Trig Red Questions)

Exercise 19.1

Youtube channel coming out soon so wathcout this space and share with firends! The more the shares the more earlier I can put the youtube channel on.

These answers are from the NEW textbook YEAR 13 (A2 Maths NEW MEI A Level maths textbook with the Green colour). I also have solutions for the Orange and yellow cover (MEI AS year 12 Maths textbook).

I also intend to upload the MEI A Level Maths textbook PDF in the near future so please keep in touch by sending your details through the contact page here

So what's the big deal? The New Grading System compares exactly as below:

From the information available, this is what I expect for numbers of students attaining each grade – grades and boundaries specifically detailed by Ofqual Sept 2014 are in red, others are 'intelligent' guesses from exam board presentations.

In a nutshell, the most significant changes are as below:

  • Some very important formulae from the formula booklet have been removed. This is a big change as the formula to solve quadratic equations is no more there. Forget about being able to use this accurately, students find this formula very difficult to remember in the first place. The other formula taken off is that of Trigonometry (Sine and Cosine rules for finding missing sides and angles in a non right angle triangle).

Whilst the Sine RULE is easy to implement it can be very difficult to remember the cosine rule for finding a side and an angle. It looks something like this: a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bc cos A and the one for finding the angle which can be obtained by rearranging the above.

Please watch the video below:

The list of formulae to remember now looks something like this:

Quadratic formula to solve for x. x =– b ± √(b² – 4ac) / 2a

Cosine rule:a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bcCosA

Sine Rule: a / sin A = b / sin B = c / sin C

Area triangle = ½ a b sinC

  • Exams are Linear Format instead of Modules meaning there will be Three exam papers to sit at the end of year 11 only. One non-calculator paper and two Calculator papers. All the topics are now scattered across the board and anything could be asked in any of the papers. All exams are 1 hour 45 minutes each. Different exam boards i.e. Edexcel, AQA, OCR are irrelevant as GCSE Maths is a core subject hence the curriculum is broadly the same.
  • Key content New to the Foundation Tier: Using trigonometric ratios, Use of Standard Form, Vectors, Factorising quadratics, including the difference of two squares, Using y=mx+c
  • Key Content New to the Higher Tier: Equation of a circle (centre at the origin) – this may have already been in some specifications but wasn't in all, Tangent to a circle, Using iteration to find approximate solutions to equations, Gradient at a point on a curve, Average and instantaneous rates of change, Areas under graphs, (some) Kinematics formulae.
  • Key Content New to BOTH the tiers: Knowing the exact values of sinθ, cosθ and tanθ for θ= 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°(not tan). Using inequality notation to specify error intervals, Using Venn diagrams, Working with percentages >100%, Frequency trees.
  • IGCSE Maths has retained some topics from As Maths and so has the standard GCSE Maths. To read more about the topics please click Here

Whilst I understand the above move is to make British high school qualification comparable at par with other countries like Finland, Sweden, Germany and especially the Asian counterparts i.e. Singapore, Hong Kong, China and India.

I will be posting important updates regularly over here about my key findings. However, if you are enrolled into my tutoring program than you do not need to worry about any of the changes as I keep the students/parents aware of even the smallest changes and my tutorials include the latest syllabus, exam techniques and topics. If you have not registered for the Easter Revision course for May – June 2018 Exams then I highly recommend you to do so by contacting me asap.

Dear Students / Parents,

I get asked this question so many times. I am going to explain what it takes to get an A/A* grade in A Level Maths.

But before I do that, I would like you to understand the career option you have after getting that grade. This should hopefully make it clear how useful it is to have that grade. Please click Here to find out more and than come back later on to learn how to get that grade.

To understand this quickly here are the brief points:

  • Start preparation early in the year (Ideally from the first day after you have enrolled for A Level Maths).
  • Have a good School / College and ensure they are doing the right exam board you are targeting.
  • Revise effectively for your mocks right from the beginning. Your teacher are going to use your mock grades to predict your UCAS grades. So its best to get in the good books early on in the year. You don't want to be begging them to change your grades. More often thats difficult if not impossible.

As such if you wake up late in the year i.e. say after your mock in January, not only you are late but you have run out of choice for enrolling with the best tutors around as usually the get picked up early in the year. Then you are left with tutors who may or may not be able to do the job. And given the stress due to limited timings, you are risking too much.

  • Aim to get 80% in all your tests at school.  This is simply because its logical to think and expect to perform better in the short tests of single mock papers against trying to get that 90% marker in all the units nearing the end of the term.
