Edexcel A-Level Maths Past Papers.
Every official Edexcel A-Level (9MA0) and AS (8MA0) Maths question paper and mark scheme — free, plus the sample and specimen papers. QP = question paper, MS = mark scheme. Scroll past the papers for how to use them.

Linear spec since 2018: the 2018 row is the combined Statistics & Mechanics Paper 3; from 2019 Pearson splits it into Statistics (P31) and Mechanics (P32). 2020 & 2021: summer exams were cancelled (COVID-19) — the autumn replacement series (Oct 2020, Nov 2021) are included above. Pearson has begun releasing June 2025 but has not yet published the full series in a form that can be linked reliably; it will be added once it is complete.

Specimen and sample papers
Written by Pearson before the qualification was ever sat, so no real exam exists for them. They match the current specification and are the two extra full papers most students never find. Sample and specimen are different sets — four papers per qualification in total, not two.

Pearson publishes the complete sets as single booklets — A-Level sample assessment materials and AS sample assessment materials — with every paper and mark scheme in one PDF. The links above are the same papers split out one at a time. No specimen mark scheme was ever published for A-Level Paper 3.
All papers and mark schemes are © Pearson Education. This page does not host any exam-board files. The exam-series papers link to Pearson directly; the sample and specimen papers link to the identical official PDFs mirrored by Physics & Maths Tutor, because Pearson publishes those only as combined booklets rather than one paper at a time.

How to actually use past papers.
Past papers are the most powerful revision tool you have — but most students just "do" them and tick the answers. That barely moves the needle. This is the sequence I take every student through. The full method, in detail →
Topic first, then whole papers
Early on, don't sit full papers — pull questions by topic (every "binomial expansion" question across ten years) until each topic is solid. Whole papers come once the foundations hold.
Then sit complete papers under timing
Once topics are secure, sit full papers to the clock, no notes. This builds the stamina and pacing that decide grades on the day — running out of time is what costs most students their target.
Mark ruthlessly with the official mark scheme
Mark your own work against the real mark scheme. Learn where the method (M) marks sit and how examiners award them — you want to present working so you bank marks even when an answer slips.
Redo everything you dropped
A few days later, redo every question you lost marks on — from scratch, not just reading the solution. The redo is where the grade actually moves.
The exam at a glance
What's in each Edexcel paper.
Paper 1 & 2 · Pure
Proof, algebra and functions, coordinate geometry, sequences and series, trigonometry, exponentials and logs, differentiation, integration, numerical methods and vectors. Two hours each, 100 marks.
Paper 3 · Statistics
Section A: sampling, data presentation and interpretation, probability, statistical distributions (including the binomial and normal), and hypothesis testing. Uses the large data set.
Paper 3 · Mechanics
Section B: quantities and units in mechanics, kinematics, forces and Newton's laws, moments, and projectiles. Together with Statistics this makes the 2-hour, 100-mark Paper 3.
