More content has been added to the Higher Tier in order to stretch and challenge the most able students and better prepare them for A Level Mathematics. So the there is an new knowledge, skill and understanding that will be assessed.
Higher Tier Papers are assessed approximately in these proportions (±3%), although this could change

At Foundation Tier the biggest change is content, it is more challanging. There are new topics introduced in 2015, which were assessed at the Higher Tier in 2010 specification.

I offer GCSE maths Online tuition to all abilities. I teach either one to one or a small group of friends. Look at for on demand GCSE Topics involving up to 30 students which is cheaper than a one to one online tuition. Send me an email of the GCSE Maths topics you would like to learn online. I have an enhanced-DBS and full teaching qualifications.
