Recent P2 papers by topic
We matched every question in the 4 P2 papers from June 2024 to June 2025 to a topic, using Pearson's examiner reports. How many of those 4 papers had at least one question on each topic (a question can test more than one):
- Factor and remainder theorems, proof: 4 of 4 papers, 8 questions · practise
- Sequences and series: 4 of 4 papers, 7 questions · practise
- Exponentials and logarithms: 4 of 4 papers, 6 questions · practise
- Integration, area and the trapezium rule: 4 of 4 papers, 6 questions · practise
- Stationary points and optimisation: 4 of 4 papers, 5 questions · practise
- Binomial expansion: 4 of 4 papers, 4 questions · practise
- Circles: 4 of 4 papers, 4 questions · practise
- Trig identities and equations: 4 of 4 papers, 4 questions · practise
4 series are a small sample, so use this to see what a P2 paper usually looks like, not to guess the next one. The page for each of those papers lists its questions one by one.
