Questions students ask
Where is the Edexcel Specimen Papers 1-3 mark scheme?
Pearson Edexcel publishes this specimen's mark scheme alongside it on its own website: use the board's past-paper page.
What are the grade boundaries for Edexcel A Level Maths papers?
We don't copy grade boundaries. Pearson publishes the official boundaries for every series on its grade boundaries page (opens in a new tab). A Level Maths boundaries are set for the whole qualification (all three papers together), so a single paper has no grade of its own.
How long is Edexcel A Level Maths Papers 1-3?
Calculator allowed. The sample assessment materials: one specimen of each of the three papers.
Can I download the paper from this site?
No. The papers are © Pearson Edexcel and we link to the official copies instead of hosting them, so you always get the board's current file. If a link breaks, the board's past-paper page has the same file.
