OCR-MEI A-Level Maths Resources:

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

Another recommended resource are your OCR-MEI 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.

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 OCR-MEI 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.

OCR-MEI Pre-2017 Syllabus Papers:

These are the past papers from the OCR-MEI 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 doesnt exactly match up to the current syllabus content with some topics no longer tested and new topics have been added.

These papers can be a useful resource if you want OCR-MEI exam questions from a particular topic, but want to save the limited number of current syllabus past papers until closer to your exam. They are also a great resource if you want extra practice at the comprehension paper.  (You’ll find the old syllabus comprehension papers under the C4 tab.)

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 Edexcel A-Level resources sections, and do their current syllabus past papers, rather than these OCR-MEI Pre-2017 syllabus papers, as the current A-Level Maths syllabus is almost identical across all exam boards, and a much better match to the current OCR-MEI syllabus.
