Distance learning Alevel Maths

[sarz]

I want to do an Alevel maths, has anyone done it as a distance learning course? I have seen it in 2 places, one exams in AQA and one in Edexcel, is there much of a difference?? ANy advice would be great!

I want to do this too so will await replies eagerly!

I went with National Extension College. There is little difference between the exam people, just abit of a different course to follow.

lemonadeDrinker, was it managable? what was the work load like, and how helpful were the tutors?

I didn't use my tutor, I ended up with a real life tutor but I was trying to cram it in in a matter of weeks. It was set out very well, there is 3 parts to an AS and 3 to the A2 as far as I can remember. I think they may have broken it all down again into units. Because it is all there, if you have access to google it's pretty 'easy'. Anything I didn't know I would goole how to do it. BBC I think had an amazing site. Also download the AQA or Edexcel thingy (syllabus?) and buy the revision guide. At the end of the day,if you know everything in the revision guide you will be fine. If you can time manage and self motivate, and can manage maths OK it really is a matter of working through it all, front to back. The actual course was abit of "this is how to do this" and then practise questions etc. As I said, in addition download the syllabus, get a revision guide, check the BBC site and download some practise papers
