OCR AS/A Level in Mathematics
B (MEI) and OCR AS/A Level in
Further Mathematics B (MEI) for
teaching from 2017
From 2017, AS and A level Mathematics and
Further Mathematics are required to have a
greater emphasis on modelling, problem solving,
reasoning and integration of technology, and
statistics will have a new focus on interpretation
of data. These are features that MEI has been
promoting for many years.
What’s so special about these
specifications?
