Every S1 paper draws on these topics. Each opens our S1 page: what the topic covers, a worked example with its mark scheme, then practice questions.
- Data and Summary Statistics
- Representation of Data
- Probability
- Correlation and Regression
- Discrete Random Variables
- Normal Distribution
- Measures of Location and Spread

Recent S1 papers by topic
We matched every question in the 4 S1 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):
- Location, spread, outliers and coding: 4 of 4 papers, 8 questions · practise
- Probability, Venn and tree diagrams: 4 of 4 papers, 7 questions · practise
- Data representation (stem-and-leaf, histograms, box plots): 4 of 4 papers, 6 questions · practise
- The normal distribution: 4 of 4 papers, 6 questions · practise
- Correlation and regression: 4 of 4 papers, 4 questions · practise
- Discrete random variables: 4 of 4 papers, 4 questions · practise
4 series are a small sample, so use this to see what a S1 paper usually looks like, not to guess the next one. The page for each of those papers lists its questions one by one.
