How to use past papers well
- Find your weak topics first, so you know which questions to spend time on.
- Do a full paper only once you can score on most topics; use topic sets before that.
- Write your working. Most marks in A-Level Maths are for method, not the final answer.
- Mark yourself against the official mark scheme, point by point (M, A and B marks).
- Note where you lost marks by topic, then revise those topics before the next paper.
Where the marks are across the papers we have
100 marks across 1 paper. We tag each question part with one topic ourselves, so treat this as a guide to emphasis, not an exam-board figure. It grows as we add papers.
| Topic | Marks | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Algebra | 25 | 25% |
| Integration | 15 | 15% |
| Functions | 11 | 11% |
| Trigonometry | 11 | 11% |
| Exponentials and Logarithms | 10 | 10% |
| Differentiation | 9 | 9% |
| Vectors | 6 | 6% |
| Coordinate Geometry | 5 | 5% |
| Sequences and Series | 5 | 5% |
| Numerical Methods | 3 | 3% |

Past paper questions students ask
- Where can I download the official A-Level Maths past papers?
- From your exam board. AQA, Pearson Edexcel and OCR each publish their question papers and mark schemes free of charge. We link to each board's own past-paper page and do not republish their PDFs.
- How is practising here different from downloading a paper?
- You answer each question on screen, we check the answers we can check automatically, and you mark the rest yourself against the mark-scheme points. Your marks are then grouped by topic so you can see what to revise.
- Are the marks by topic official?
- No. We tag each question with a topic ourselves, and the totals are our own analysis. They are a revision aid, not an exam-board statistic, and they are not grade boundaries.
