From practice to the real exam

Verified sources
01
Confirm board
Edexcel 9MA0, AQA 7357, and OCR (MEI) H640 are the three boards. Same 2/3 Pure + 1/3 Applied (Stats + Mechanics) structure across all.
02
Cover the spec
Pure (Algebra, Trigonometry, Vectors, Differentiation, Integration, Numerical methods, Sequences, Proof). Statistics (Probability, Distributions, Sampling, Hypothesis tests). Mechanics (Kinematics, Forces, Moments).
03
Three papers
Paper 1 + Paper 2: Pure Mathematics. Paper 3: Statistics & Mechanics. 2 hours each, sat in May/June of Year 13.
04
Past papers
Sit every past paper (since 2017 spec change). Mark schemes are detailed; examiner reports flag common errors.
05
Consider Further Maths
Further Maths A-Level is a SEPARATE qualification. If you're strong, taking both signals exceptional aptitude to universities (especially Russell Group).

The experience

What to expect on test day

Timed simulation
Every mock runs under real exam time pressure. No pauses, no hints — exactly like the day.
Randomised questions
Every attempt draws fresh questions. You cannot memorise your way to a pass — you have to understand.
Integrity monitoring
Tab switches are logged in mock mode. Three switches auto-submits — same discipline as a real proctor.
Detailed results
Topic-by-topic breakdown, every answer explained, and a personalised 5-day study plan when you finish.
How to prepare

Competitive study playbook

Four habits that move the needle most — pulled from how high-scorers actually study.

01
Spend the first week entirely on your weakest topic — momentum follows confidence.
02
Previous-year papers are the single highest-ROI study tool. Treat them as gospel.
03
Strict time per question. Most failures are time-management failures, not knowledge failures.
04
For GS: daily current affairs reading is non-negotiable — even 15 minutes compounds.
