The International A Level in Mathematics is six units: P1, P2, P3 and P4, plus one pair of applied units (M1 and S1, M1 and D1, M1 and M2, S1 and D1, or S1 and S2).
Calculators may be used in every unit, including P1.
Units are sat in January, June and October.

Questions
Is this the official Pearson specification?
No. It is our own plain-English checklist of what the course covers, with the board's reference numbers so you can find each part in the official document. undefined is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any exam board. For the exact wording, use the official link above.
Where are my ticks saved?
In this browser straight away. Sign in with a free account and they are saved to your account too, so they follow you to any device. They are the same ticks as on our interactive syllabus checklist.
How do I print it?
Use the Print button (or your browser's print). The printout is a clean one- or two-page list with a box next to every point, ready to tick by hand.
