AQA A-Level Maths Resources:

As well as your AQA past papers and mark schemes, I highly recommend you use the Madas Maths papers below as part of your revision. They are excellent exam preparation, and will consolidate all the basic concepts and standard exam questions, help you recognise the different ways the same question can be asked, but also, there are many questions designed to develop your problem solving skills and gain the deeper understanding of the syllabus required to get to A* level. I have used these papers as part of the tuition process with all of my A-Level students for many years, and with most of those students going on to achieve A*, I cant recommend them enough! If you’re able to work through most of the Madas Maths papers then you’ll find the AQA papers well within your capabilities.

Another invaluable resource are the AQA text books, with plenty of worked examples, hints, tips and practice questions on each section of each topic, and at the end of each chapter, a review exercise to check that you understand everything you should have from that chapter and a summary of key points, which form an excellent revision checklist.

My recommended work plan:

  1. Use the review exercises from the AQA text books, as you finish each topic at school/college, to check you’ve understood everything.
  2. When you finish the review exercises from each of the four sections of the course (AS pure, A2 Pure, Statistics, Mechanics) move on to the Madas maths papers below for that section.
  3. Once its closer to your exam, move from the Madas maths papers to your exam board’s current syllabus past papers, also below.
  4. Go into your exam confident of the highest grade possible.

AQA Current Syllabus (first taught 2017):

The 2023 papers are still locked on the Edexcel website so that schools can use them for mock exams. If your school has not used these for mocks, then you should ask your school teacher for access to these papers.

Madas Maths Papers:

The Madas Maths papers increase in difficulty from A to Z and each have well written model solutions for you to check your anwers and learn and revise from when you get stuck. I’d suggest you start working through as many of these as papers as you can, as soon as you finish each section of the course (Year 1 pure, year 2 pure, statistics, mechanics), before moving on to your AQA past papers closer to your exam.

The Madas Maths papers are excellent exam preparation, and will consolidate all the basic concepts and standard exam questions, help you recognise the different ways the same question can be asked, but also, there are many questions designed to develop your problem solving skills and gain the deeper understanding of the syllabus required to get to A* level.
