At Leeds Tutor Company, we help students of all ages with their functional skills level 2 qualifications. This includes booking their exam, extra information on the qualification and the exam itself. The Functional Skills Maths Level 2 Exam is an important aspect of the Level 2 Maths qualification. It is equivalent to a GCSE Grade C/Level 4 and is beneficial for those looking to apply to forms of higher education or for jobs. Many providers accept this qualification if you did not obtain a pass at GCSE.
The Functional Skills Maths Level 2 Exam is divided into two sections.
- The non-calculator (30-minutes)
- The calculator (1-Hour 30-Minutes)
More marks are awarded in the calculator section, and while you do not need to do well in both components of the exam, it is still important to be prepared. The topics covered in the exam will vary from paper to paper, ranging from percentages to probability. The main topic areas addressed are: using numbers, common measures, shapes and space, handling information and data.
When choosing the exam board for your exam, there are some things to consider. Most exam centres are only affiliated with one examination body, whereas the centre we recommend offers three! Being affiliated with three ensures that you can choose an examination body that suits your needs and requirements. All have pros and cons; each exam board can differ regarding the speed of receiving your result and availability.
