Maths Made Easy (MME) provide the very best revision materials and academic support for Maths, English and Science. In this blog we’d like to tell you all about “Functional Skills Level 2” What are they and why might your child undertake them?
With centres nationwide closing as a result of Covid, exams being cancelled and peoples education being impacted, we understand that this can be a worrying time for those of you who were looking to get that extra qualification needed for your dream career. Whilst you might not be able to sit the GCSEs you have been trying so hard for, we can recommend sitting a GCSE Equivalent qualification with MME.
MME are a leading provider of Functional Skills exams and are still operating full exam services during the pandemic. The functional skills exam is the biggest GCSE equivalent qualification being sat in the UK, with over half a million people sitting them yearly. This means that functional skills exams are also accepted almost anywhere in place of a GCSE qualification.
The Functional skills maths level 2 exam is there to replace your maths GCSE. We know that many of you might have struggled with maths in school, or maybe it has been a while since you have even picked up a text book, but don’t worry. The functional skills maths exam is more applied maths than it is theoretical. The questions are more contextual, so there are less difficult topics like Algebra. Whether you have lost your GCSE certificate that you need for a promotion at work, or whether you want to go onto further education and training, the level 2 qualifications could be what you need.
The Functional skills English level 2 exam is the same, with a much more real life approach to the questions than purely comprehension. Both these exams are unique in that whilst they are accepted as a GCSE Equivalency they can both be done from home!
That’s right, the Functional skills maths level 2 online exam can be sat from home, on the computer, on a time and day that suits you. This means it can work around your busy schedule and makes it easier than ever for you to get stuck into your learning. The Functional Skills English level 2 online exam is the same, providing you with the opportunity to sit your exams from home and get those qualifications you need for your future.
