Free-standing Mathematics Qualifications
- Free-standing Mathematics Qualifications
Free-standing Mathematics Qualifications (FSMQ) are a suite of mathematical qualifications available at levels 1 to 3 in the National Qualifications Framework – Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced. They bridge a gap between GCSE and AS-Level Mathematics and are especially ideal for pupils who have taken their Maths GCSE a year early. The examining boards currently offering FSMQs are OCR and AQA.
Edexcel withdrew the qualification, the last exam being held in June 2004.
An FSMQ Unit at Advanced level is a rough equivalent of an AS or A-level module, whilst the Intermediate level is equivalent to a GCSE in Mathematics. Coursework is often a key part of the FSMQ, but is sometimes omitted depending on the examining board.
