Edexcel A-Level Maths Resources:

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

Another invaluable resource are the Pearson Edexcel text books. These are the best Maths text books I’ve come across, from all exam boards, all syllabuses, in all my years tutoring. Very well written, with plenty of questions on each section of each topic, worked examples, hints and tips, challenge questions to extend you if you’re finding the topic easy, and at the end of each chapter, a comprehensive mixed exercise with a range of basic, problem solving and exam questions to check that you understand everything you should have from that chapter and a summary of key points, which form an excellent set of revision notes.

My recommended work plan:

  1. Use the mixed exercises from the Pearson 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 exam board’s current syllabus past papers.
  4. Go into your exam confident of the highest grade possible.

Edexcel 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 Edexcel 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. If you’re able to work through most of the Madas Maths papers you’ll find the Edexcel papers well within your capabilities.

Edexcel Pre-2017 Syllabus:

eThese are the past papers from the Edexcel Pre-2017 Syllabus. This syllabus comprised of 6 modules. The C1 and C2 papers were the core AS level Pure modules, C3 and C4 were the core A2 Level Pure modules, S1 and S2 were the Statistics modules, and M1 and M2 were the Mechanics modules. The Pre-2017 Syllabus content doesn’t exactly match up to the current syllabus content with some topics no longer tested and new topics have been added. Here’s a summary of the key changes.

These papers can be a useful resource if you want Edexcel exam questions from a particular topic, but want to save the limited number of current syllabus past papers until closer to your exam. Just click on the syllabus links in the table to see what topics were in each module.

However, if you’ve done the Madas Maths papers suggested above and are looking for more papers to practice, then I’d suggest you go to the AQA, OCR and OCR-MEI A-Level resources sections, and do their current syllabus past papers, rather than these Edexcel Pre-2017 syllabus papers, as the current A-Level Maths syllabus is almost identical across all exam boards, so a much better match to the current Edexcel syllabus.
