Edexcel A-Level Maths — Past Papers, Practice Papers & Resources
Every current syllabus paper and mark scheme from 2018, the full Madas practice-paper archive, and the pre-2017 papers — collected and kept up to date by Kevin Holdstock, who has privately tutored A-Level maths for 14 years.

I take a limited number of one-to-one students so everyone gets proper attention between sessions as well as in them.
Contact me to reserve your spaceStarting A-Level maths in September?
This is the single biggest jump in the school system, and the students who handle it are the ones who work correctly from week one — not the ones who catch up later. If your son or daughter is starting Year 12 in September, now is the right moment to put a good structure in place, rather than waiting to see how the first term or year goes.
Ask about a September placeWhat weekly tuition actually looks like
I'm Kevin. I've taught maths one to one for 14 years — the first seven travelling house to house, and every year since 2019 entirely online. I've taught the Edexcel syllabus since it was first examined, and every resource on this page is one I use with my own students.
Lessons are usually one hour a week, always one to one, online and £120 an hour.
The step most students don't see coming
GCSE maths rewards revision. By the time you sit it you've met most of the syllabus four or five times, a little deeper each year, so a hard run at it in Year 11 works. A-Level doesn't behave like that. It's taught once, it moves fast, and it expects independent practice from the first week.
Most students don't find this out in September, some only realising in the summer exams at the end of Year 12 — and by then they're facing a summer of catching up before Year 13 has even started. Maths punishes gaps more than any other subject: missing a few building blocks early can soon lead to a student feeling out of their depth and struggling to understand the rest of the syllabus as it progresses. You can't paper over it later, you have to go back and rebuild, and that costs far more time than staying on top of it from the start would.
How the tuition works
Starting in Year 12 — the full course
We work through my study plan together from day one. As you finish each topic at school I will set you a mixed exercise for that topic — a proper overview that shows us both what's solid and what isn't. Session time then goes where it's needed: polishing the loose ends, or teaching from scratch anything that didn't land in class. Your understanding stays topped up the whole way through, rather than being audited for the first time in a mock. Most of my students take this route and stay for the full two years.
Joining late in Year 12 or at the start in Year 13 — filling gaps and polishing
If Year 12 left holes, we will find yours specifically and work on those, rather than a generic recap of the whole year. At the same time we will polish the things you do know up to a very high standard and endeavour to stay on top of Year 13 as it's taught, so you're closing the gap and keeping pace instead of choosing between them. I have very limited spaces available for this and would recommend 2 hours a week of tuition for students in this situation.
“He starts from where the student is and makes learning really personal. He is a skilled motivator who understands the competing demands on kids' time. My son worked with Kevin for final year GCSE and both A level years. He achieved the grades he needed to choose the University course he wanted.”
“He taught my son throughout Year 12–13 and guided him through the A level Maths course. My son moved from a C/D prediction to obtaining a secure A* grade this summer. I have signed my daughter up and she looks forward to the sessions as much as my son.”
I teach OCR A, OCR-MEI and AQA as well as Edexcel — the content is largely the same across boards, and I'll work from your specification and past papers.
My recommended work plan
This is the plan I use with my own students, and it's the reason the resources on this page are arranged the way they are. Follow it properly and you'll have seen every question type this syllabus asks, at and above the level the real paper tests.
Textbook exercises, topic by topic
Use the exercises from the Edexcel textbooks as you finish each topic at school or college — if you're aiming for A*, you should use the red questions from the textbooks to see if you have achieved that level on that topic and to uncover gaps,
Madas papers, section by section
When you finish each of the four sections of the course — AS Pure, A2 Pure, Statistics, Mechanics — move on to the Madas papers below for that section and work through them in order, the difficulty increases as you go through.
Past papers, under exam conditions
Closer to your exam, move from the Madas papers to the Edexcel past papers below. Timed, with the formulae book, marked honestly against the mark scheme — oldest years first, most recent saved for last.
Walk in knowing you've seen it before
By the time you sit the real paper, nothing on it should be unfamiliar. That's the whole point of working in this order.
If you would like someone to help keep you on this plan, filling your gaps in understanding as you go, please Whatsapp me on 07940928228 to enquire about weekly tuition.

No exams ran in 2020 or 2021. The 2022 series was graded under transitional post-pandemic arrangements with deliberately more generous boundaries. 2018 was the first sitting of the current specification and was taken largely by an accelerated cohort of Year 12 further maths students sitting the exam a year early, which is why that year's A* sits higher than the standard-cohort years around it. Boundaries as published by Pearson Edexcel. Official Edexcel grade boundaries →
What these numbers tell you
Ignoring 2018 and 2022 as unusual years, the A* boundary has climbed steadily since exams returned to normal: 72% (2019), 81% (2023), 84% (2024), 86% (2025), easing slightly to 85% in 2026.

The 2026 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.
Struggling to understand past paper questions and mark schemes?
Enquire about 1-1 tuition with KevinMadas 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
These 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.
