// IGCSE → P1 Transition
A-Level Bridging Course
A structured 6-week bridge that lifts you from IGCSE / GCSE Higher into Edexcel IAL Pure 1. Each week: 4 short teaching subtopics, worked examples, targeted practice, and a summary assessment.
P1 Transition: Algebra
Rebuild your algebraic engine — indices, surds, simultaneous equations, and completing the square — the four toolkits you'll lean on across the whole of P1.
Functions & Graphs
Domain, range, transformations, and sketching — from IGCSE fluency to P1 rigour. Four toolkits you'll lean on every time a curve appears in a question.
Week 1 — Full Content
Work through each subtopic top-to-bottom. Reveal the solution/mark scheme only after you've attempted the problem.
Week 2 — Full Content
Work through each subtopic top-to-bottom. Reveal the solution/mark scheme only after you've attempted the problem.
Trigonometry
Radians, ratios, sine/cosine rules, and identities — the trig fluency P1 assumes you already have. Includes AI-marked worked-solution questions.
Week 3 — Full Content
Work through each subtopic top-to-bottom. Reveal the solution/mark scheme only after you've attempted the problem.
Differentiation
First principles, product/quotient/chain rules, tangents, normals, stationary points, and optimisation — the calculus muscle P1 relies on. Includes AI-marked working questions.
Week 4 — Full Content
Work through each subtopic top-to-bottom. Reveal the solution/mark scheme only after you've attempted the problem.
Integration
Indefinite and definite integrals, area under a curve, $u$-substitution, volumes of revolution, and kinematics — the reverse-differentiation toolkit for P1 and P2.
Week 5 — Full Content
Work through each subtopic top-to-bottom. Reveal the solution/mark scheme only after you've attempted the problem.
Exam Skills
The meta-skills examiners reward — command words, common slip-ups, "Show that" / "Prove" techniques, and multi-part modelling questions. Sharpen everything you've built in Weeks 1-5.
Week 6 — Full Content
Work through each subtopic top-to-bottom. Reveal the solution/mark scheme only after you've attempted the problem.
