Keep Beyond Revision as a trusted ally in your exam preparation and make these Edexcel GCSE Maths past papers your go-to study supplement.
We’ve compiled each of the publicly available papers and mark schemes for the Edexcel exam right here, providing you with an ideal base point in your revision practice. You should aim to complete as many of these past papers as possible! Remember, Paper 1 is a non-calculator paper whereas Papers 2 and 3 are calculator papers.
You’ll find Foundation and Higher Level exam papers here so you’ll be covered whatever your form of assessment. Simply navigate using the relevant table and choose the date/paper that you’d like to focus on for each revision session.
On the mark scheme, you will see some abbreviations. It’s important that you understand these for two reasons: you need to be able to mark your work accurately but you also need to know what the examiners are looking for.
Let’s look at the different types of mark available.
M method marks
These are for a correct method, such as the grid method for multiplications.
P process marks
These are for a correct process in a problem-solving question. You would get it for identifying that you need to multiply.
A accuracy marks
These are for a correct answer. Unless the question requires you to show your working, the correct answer also implies the correct process or method.
C communication marks
These are for communicating, for example coming to a conclusion or explaining an answer.
B unconditional accuracy marks
These are marks purely for the right answer if there are no marks for the method or process.
All the other abbreviations are relatively self-explanatory. There is a table at the start of the mark scheme which explains each of them.
