Like other A-level subjects, mathematics has been assessed in a linear system since the introduction of Curriculum 2000, whereby each candidate must take six modules, with the best score of these modules determining the final grade

Are you sure?? I'm fairly certain that it's not the best score, but the total score e.g. if you got 80/100, 70/100, 60/100, 50/100, 40/100, 30/100, you wouldn't get an A - you'd get an overall score of 330/600 which is a D grade.

Otherwise you could just get 80/100 in one module, then skip the rest of the A-level and still get an A.. which makes no sense whatsoever.

No, it means the best score in each module (eg. if you take a module twice, your best mark is used, even if your second try was worse); you still need all the required modules for the award. However, this is STILL incorrect, as it is not linear (which implies only one exam being taken for assessment), but modular (with each module being assessed separately). I will change it accordingly.
