From Naikermaths, A Level ‘Best Guess’ Papers and Mark Schemes for Papers 1 and 2. It’s great to see that very clear disclaimer on the front page. These look like great practice papers.
To quote Naikermaths:
……..nobody can predict a paper. However, this paper is created based on high frequency of topics and trend from previous years. Some topics or similar skills from this paper may appear in Paper 2 and vice versa, or may not.

On June 1st, it’s an ideal day to recommend Wayne Chadburn’s great calendars – A little bit of maths eachday. He writes these calendars to provide regular, varied practice; three versions of each monthly calendar are available, Higher, Foundation Plus, and Foundation; answers are provided.
Wayne ChadburnTick Tock Maths – IGCSE Calculus
From Tick Tock Maths, it’s great to see new IGCSE resources, particularly for topics not on GCSE. See the top menu – Calculus (IGCSE). This resource has been added to my IGCSE collection. This also includes the recent paper 2 practice questions from Addvance Maths.
Warm up grid for A Level Maths Paper 1 (AQA) for students to do on the morning of the exam. Will hopefully make some for papers 2 and 3 after the first paper. Please do alert me to any errors!https://t.co/LX5aZPyScapic.twitter.com/bweaRHQujX
Dr Tom Bennison – AQA Further Maths Practice Paper
A final Paper 1 AQA Further Maths Paper 1 Practice Paper is up on my site now (possibly not as interesting as the others but questions nonetheless). Also 5 Further Maths 15 minute boost sheets with solutions added too. https://t.co/UKhNtKbbcy
From Dr Tom Bennison on MathematicsAndCoding see his excellent resources for AQA A-Level Maths, AQA A-Level Further Maths (and also AQA Level 2 Further Maths). You will find Papers, Warm-up grids, 15 minute Boost-sheets for Maths and also for Further Maths. Tom will be adding resources to his post as they are created.
From Naikermaths, “Best Guess” papers and mark schemes for A Level Maths papers 1 and 2. There is a very clear disclaimer on the front of the paper:
This year is different, nobody can predict a paper. However, this paper is created based on high frequency of topics and trend from previous years. Some topics or similar skills from this paper may appear in Paper 2 and vice versa, or may not.
We must start by saying congratulations and Happy Birthday to MathsBot! Jonathan Hall has been providing us with this amazing site for 10 years, thank you so much, Jonathan!
In week 2 we have Maths AS Paper 2 Statistics and Mechanics and A Level Further Maths Paper 1, looking ahead to Week 3 after half term, we have Further Maths Paper 2, A Level Maths Paper 1, Core Maths Paper 1 and GCSE Maths Paper 2.
See Corbettmaths GCSE Maths Summer 2023,we now have Edexcel, AQA paper 2 and 3 preparation materials and OCR papers 2, 3, 5, and 6. The material includes interactive revision checklists, (select a topic for an explanation on that topic) and Foundation and Higher Preparation Papers.
The interactive lists link directly to the appropriate video, note the video number and then find that in the list of contents on the videos and worksheets page for practice questions.
As there are 3 papers, it is almost certain that topics from paper 1 may appear again, so definitely make sure you revise everything.
From First Class Maths a practice paper for Edexcel Paper 2H is now available. I do like the disclaimer on the front page, we cannot know what content will be examined – the best strategy is to revise everything! The paper has been created “with a careful analysis of the most common paper 2/3 topics from previous years and also careful analysis of what topics have already appeared in paper 1.”
The lovely @KerryDunton has completed a set of solutions for the high frequency Paper 2 topic questions that I created, so I'm going to tweet the whole lot out again – many thanks to Kerry and of course @1stclassmaths First the Foundation Tier questionshttps://t.co/rtjGiMTNN8

For OCR, see Mr Neill’s suggested practice questions for Foundations and Higher for Paper 2.
For anyone teaching OCR these are what I think will be on P2. Using my heatmaps. Created as there is not too much out there for OCR. Hope they are helpful. Just used the heatmaps and past questions. All non calc.https://t.co/YZjHpPEz4m
— Mr Neill MATHS GCSE Exam Questions By Topic (@gcse_math) May 26, 2023
Remember that Mr Neill has this brilliant resource, all Edexcel, AQA and OCR GCSE maths questions by topic with answers from June 2017 to Nov 2020 (9-1), available all on pdf, PowerPoint or Promethean.
We also have papers and video solutions from @onmathsuk.
Very helpfully, onmaths has an online paper and video solutions for Foundation and Higher AQA, Edexcel, and OCR (downloads are available for subscribers)
Also available are online 15-question online tests which assess different skills from the various checklists that have been shared that aim to tackle high-frequency topics or key skills. Tests are available for AQA, Edexcel, OCR, and WJEC; it is also possible to get a pdf copy of the test and answers. Goto this page, if you have the number for your chosen test choose click here from the statement “If you happen to know the MWB task number already (ideal if you have already set a homework to one group and would like to set it to a second group), please click here.” You will then be invited to enter the code for the test you want.
The link to the tests and a full list of available tests are available here.
🚨 GCSE 2023 Maths teachers🚨
OCR H now added using @Corbettmaths checklist (THANK YOU!!).
So that the mini tests don't get lost in threads, here is the link and a full list of tests I've now produced to help target key skills for specific papers this summer:… pic.twitter.com/Khwx6JIWe9
Casio have free webinars for GCSE Higher on 30th May and for A Level on 1st June, the webinars will have a focus on the correct use of the calculator, for A Level the calculator will be the CG50.
Thinking about half term ahead, I do like this thoughtful blog post from Dani Quinn, that is a very important point about being careful what we send our students home with. Overwhelming them with too much work for which they can’t get feedback is not helpful for students studying alone.
This week is week 1 of the examination season and in this first week, we see AS Maths, AS Further Maths and the first GCSE paper.
Emily Rae (@ECRMaths) has created warm-up grids for AQA Further Maths, one for Core Pure and one for Discrete and Statistics. Answers are included.
Made a warm up grid for my AS Further Maths students to do on Monday morning before paper 1 (AQA) in the afternoon. Nothing too tricky as I want them to be relaxed going into the exam, but hopefully will get them in the right mindset!https://t.co/pB2Zn9ZUkApic.twitter.com/VNNN0LYqpr
Have added a warm up grid for AQA AS Further Maths Paper 2, for Friday's exam. We do the Discrete and Statistics options, so if you do the Mechanics you might need to swap out half of my questions 🙂 https://t.co/l8QPaX5UDlpic.twitter.com/qgd69gIHF0
Stuart Price has created a great set of resources for A Level Pure Maths on sxpmaths, it’s great to see question collections on modelling and contextual questions.
I've added a handful of "Focus on…" revision resources to my site for A2 Pure. So far: modelling, contextual questions, numerical methods. Key points summary and exemplar questions from the new spec (Edexcel) https://t.co/nT7Filv09rpic.twitter.com/OJuWXnDZwE
The UK Maths Challenges provide a wonderful library of multiple choice problems; you can practice for the UK Maths Challenges including the past papers for the Senior Challenges. Questions and full solutions are provided.
As well as a full solution that does not use the multiple-choice answers further ideas are given for investigation.
Looking at some A Level texts From Hodder, we see My Revision Notes – Mathematics. The series includes the following books. In each case look for the Quick Links on the left – see Answers and full worked solutions. Questions and fully worked solutions for each section of the book are provided, whilst the documents refer to the books, they are complete in themselves.
When you select Answers and full worked solutions for any book, see AQA Pure for example, as well as the pdf document of questions with full worked solutions for the ‘Target your revision’, ‘Exam-style’ and ‘Review’ questions, you will also find test yourself multiple-choice questions for each section.
At the start of my teaching career, I really liked the first paper of the Mathematics A level from the University of London School Examinations Board – thirty multiple choice questions to complete in one hour, 15 minutes.
For questions 1 to 20, candidates had to select one answer from 5 and for questions 21-30 the instructions were as follows.
The pdf file here has the paper, followed by the exam board answers followed by notes from the 1986 version of me! These days I would illustrate with Desmos and/or WolframAlpha for example as well where appropriate.
Note the comment from Graham Cummings below, there are further papers available in Edexcel’s Emporium:
The Emporium has some 17 multiple-choice question papers from the period 1988-1992 – by no means a complete set, but they range across the Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics syllabuses. You can find them in the “Pre-C2000” cabinet within GCE AS/A Level.
Signing up to Mathematics Emporium is highly recommended, note that it is a free website intended for the use of teachers of mathematics in secondary schools, regardless of what board you use.
My search for multiple-choice questions returned this site from Uddingston Grammar Mathematics Department, the Scottish Higher resources include multiple-choice questions, each set of questions includes an answer key.
We will finish with some challenging questions for students chasing the highest grades:
For superb resources for the Oxford Admissions test multiple choice questions see these Underground Mathematics Review Questions where you will find not only the questions but suggestions and complete solutions.
