Data Analysis (9993)

We have carefully considered the future of our level 3 qualifications in the light of government changes to A-levels, and have decided not to continue with our Data Analysis FSMQ.

The last exams for students taking the current qualification will be in the June 2018 series, with a final re-sit opportunity in June 2019.

As an alternative, you may like to consider our new Level 3 Certificate in Mathematical Studies. 

Find out more about these changes and which qualifications we are planning to offer in the future. You can also contact the customer support team on the details shown below.

Data Analysis 9993 is a level 3 Free-Standing Maths Qualification (FSMQ). FSMQs are qualifications aimed at both pre-16 and post-16 students, but are accredited for all age groups. This particular FSMQ is part of a pilot and students can either take this alongside other qualifications or combine this with other pilot FSMQs and core units to achieve the A-level Use of Maths.

Data Analysis is assessed by one exam of one hour. Calculators are allowed.

This FSMQ allows students to: 

• apply their mathematical knowledge to the real-life situations used in the examination paper
• study some Mathematics at advanced level where the use of statistical techniques and ability to critically analyse data will be of value
• develop their mathematical thinking whilst learning about Applied Statistics.

Students who study this FSMQ can use this specification to complement their studies in other A-levels, for example: Business Studies, Geography, Psychology and the Sciences.
