Entries listed for November 2026, June 2027
The 2026/2027 International GCSE entry manual, pages 3, 26, lists this qualification and its assessment options. Confirm the examination year and centre eligibility.
StudyForA coverage: Partial: Number 1A–K, Sets 2A–I, Algebra 3A–L, all 14 Functions rows 4A–N, Matrices 5A–G and Geometry 6E/6F/6G/6H/6I/6J/6K/6L have reviewed teaching/practice links; 37 of 98 source rows remain unlinked, including 6 other Geometry rows and the four later topics. Specialist review and formal assessment remain pending.
Partial Mathematics B teaching: 116 original lessons across Number (1A–K teaching map; self-check practice), Sets (2A–I teaching map; own-work self-checks), Algebra (3A–L teaching map;self-check practice), Functions (all14rows linked;self-check practice), Matrices (5A–G teaching map;self-check practice), Geometry (symmetry,Pythagoras,similarity,circles,congruent shapes and triangle arguments; 6 source rows open) include 348 guided, independent and application tasks. 61 of 98 broad source rows have structural lesson links; 37 remain gaps. Only the lessons and source-row links shown in the course teaching map are available. A topic containing lessons may still have unmapped requirements.
This is the single Higher-tier linear 4MB1 qualification. It has no Foundation inheritance or additional-Higher split, and no Mathematics A or modular pathway is supplied. 6 of 10 topic headings contain available lessons; the other 4 remain unstarted. A topic containing lessons may still be partial.
Examination availability is separate from teaching coverage. The 2026/27 entry manual lists standard November 2026 and June 2027, with the regional R option in June 2027 only, subject to centre location. No later availability is assumed.
These counts describe complete reviewed learning-record links, not verified mastery or official marks. ISBN 9780435044107 is book metadata only; no B book chapter, body or Teaching Hub map has been verified.
