Hello,

You haven't mentioned what exam board your school has put you on for your A-level course but I am currently teaching myself A-level Mathematics for the Edexcel Advanced-level Mathematics Qualification. I've currently taught myself C1, C2 and M1 (just about to finish it) with almost no help from teachers (my age and other classes restrict me from going to A-level classes and I prefer teaching myself) so I know one or two things about self-learning. If you are planning on teaching yourself, and if your school uses the Edexcel specification, then I can definitely recommend you asking your school for the "Edexcel AS and A Level Modular Mathematics" books by Keith Pledger or buying them on Amazon (C1 Link). I think these books are great for self-learning, and they also include a CD at the back of the book which you can use to access a solution bank explaining every single problem in the book.

Nothing is hard in Advanced level Maths (and probably in all of Maths) if you put hard work, perseverance and enjoy every aspect of it.

Good luck!

EDIT: Whoops!!! I just noticed that the link you gave us tells us exactly what your exam board is! I don't really know that much about WJEC as I am doing Edexcel A-level Maths but you should check if your school library or your school's mathematics department has one of these. However, I can't tell you how good the WJEC books are for self-learning so you might want to ask your teachers if they can recommend you something.

If you wan't to get ahead of the curve, buy these books. The questions are pretty good (although the explanations are not brilliant).

Sample

  1. Edexcel C1

    2)Exexcel S1

    3)Edexcel C2

There are websites such as mathsisfun which teach basic algebra which might be worth a go. Khan Academy is another popular site for learning maths, and has helped me in the past.
You could also buy a book which introduces algebra. Personally, I learnt a lot from [this] book, (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Edexcel-AS-Level-Modular-Mathematics/dp/0435519107) which I studied in my first semester at college (in the UK).
This [page] (https://www.quora.com/If-you-had-to-teach-yourself-math-from-basic-algebra-to-high-level-mathematics-what-would-be-your-strategy) may also prove useful to you. It basically answers a similar question with better depth than I ever could have managed.
Hope I helped!

In the first year you'll study 2 'core' units (C1 and C2) and a further unit dedicated to statistics (S1), mechanics (M1) or decision mathematics (D1). You could either grab a 'Core 1' (C1) textbook and go through it to get a head start or grab something like Foundation Maths, which bounces around from earlier GCSE stuff to core A level topics. Foundation Maths is aimed more at those who are a little older starting a degree that requires some maths, who may have not done any serious maths for many years and have got rusty but you could use it as well, although you could probably skip the first few chapters.

If you want to research the kinds of topics you'll be studying, you can use the Look-inside feature on Amazon to check the contents page of the above C1 book and other A level books on Amazon.

The best thing you can do is to just keep up with some kind of work over the summer holiday, so you don't get rusty :) BUT don't forget to have fun and enjoy being a kid as well :).

Im gonna self teach a module of maths next year and my plan is to use the books to learn the majority of the content and FMSP videos for anything I'm struggling with

No GCSE is age 16, AS is age 17, A2 is age 18 (except AS and A2 are technically now being removed and replaced with a single A Level sat at age 18). The changes are very confusing and pretty absurd, but if you're not actually intending to sit the exams, that makes things a lot easier and you don't need to worry about these changes.

What I recommend you do, in this case, is make your way through a GCSE textbook which shouldn't be too challenging and then use the Edexcel (non-international) A Level textbooks (this series). They're brilliantly written and very clear. If you're intending to go into Computer Science then I recommend you study C1-C4 (which covers the calculus and trigonometry you'd be expected to know for any UK maths-related degree) as a minimum. FP1-FP3 are also relevant and include more advanced things like further calculus, further trigonometry and matrices (which will be very important in computer science) but be warned, they are hard!

If you can't see the contents page and want to know what's included in each unit, see the specification.

Final note just to clear up any confusion, GCE = A Level. GCE is not the same thing as GCSE.
