OCR A-Level Further Maths Resources:

As well as your OCR 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 OCR papers well within your capabilities.

Another recommended resource are your OCR text books, with lots of worked examples, hints and tips and practice questions on each section of each topic, activities to help you gain better understanding and a summary of key points at the end of each chapter which form an excellent set of revision notes.

My recommended work plan:

  1. Use the mixed exercises from the OCR text books, as you finish each topic at school/college, to check you’ve understood everything.
  2. When you finish each text book move on to the Madas maths papers for that section of the course.
  3. Once its closer to your exam, move from the Madas maths papers to your OCR current syllabus past papers.
  4. Go into your exam confident of the highest grade possible.

The 2024 papers are still locked on the OCR 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, before moving on to your OCR-MEI past papers closer to your exam.

Unfortunately, Professor Madas passed away before he could complete all of the papers for Further Maths, but the section below contains all the papers that are available for each component.

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. If you’re able to work through most of the Madas Maths papers you’ll find they really help when you come to the OCR-MEI past papers.
