Recent P3 papers by topic
We matched every question in the 4 P3 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):
- Functions and the modulus function: 4 of 4 papers, 9 questions · practise
- Exponential models and log graphs: 4 of 4 papers, 9 questions · practise
- Chain, product and quotient rules: 4 of 4 papers, 7 questions · practise
- Compound angles and R-form: 4 of 4 papers, 6 questions · practise
- Partial fractions and algebraic fractions: 4 of 4 papers, 4 questions · practise
- Reciprocal and inverse trig: 3 of 4 papers, 3 questions · practise
- Numerical methods: 3 of 4 papers, 3 questions · practise
- Integration of standard functions: 2 of 4 papers, 2 questions · practise
4 series are a small sample, so use this to see what a P3 paper usually looks like, not to guess the next one. The page for each of those papers lists its questions one by one.
