Pearson Edexcel A Level Further Maths: Core Pure 2 (Further) is organised here into 5 specification units covering 16 named subtopics, studied across Year 12–Year 13. The units are Complex Numbers, Matrices, Series & Proof, Vectors and Roots of Polynomials.
Each subtopic is tagged on the question bank, so you can practise one skill at a time, sit a full Edexcel A Level past paper, or build a mixed worksheet from several units at once. Answers are checked against the Pearson Edexcel A Level mark scheme, awarding method, accuracy and final-answer marks separately so you can see exactly where marks were lost.
Complex Numbers is the widest unit on this specification with 4 subtopics, so it is usually the highest-value place to start revision.
Complex Numbers
- Arithmetic
- Argand diagrams
- Modulus-argument form
- De Moivre's theorem
Matrices
- Operations
- Transformations
- Inverses & determinants
- Systems of equations
Series & Proof
- Method of differences
- Maclaurin series
- Proof by induction
Roots of Polynomials
- Relationships between roots
- Transformed equations
How to revise Edexcel A Level Further Maths: Core Pure 2
- 1
Diagnose with one mixed set
Start with a mixed set drawn from all 5 units to find where Further Maths: Core Pure 2 marks are actually being lost, rather than revising what already feels comfortable.
- 2
Drill unit by unit
Work through the subtopics in order, from Complex Numbers to Roots of Polynomials, doing short focused sets rather than long unfocused sessions.
- 3
Sit a full past paper under timing
Once two or three units are solid, sit a complete Edexcel A Level Further Maths: Core Pure 2 paper to timing and mark it against the official mark scheme.
- 4
Re-practise only the dropped marks
Convert every dropped mark into a targeted set on that subtopic, then re-test it a week later to check the fix stuck.
