Questions students ask
Where can I find the newest papers?
OCR publishes H240 papers, mark schemes and examiners' reports from June 2018 to June 2025 on its assessment page; newer series are on Teach Cambridge for teachers.
What are the OCR A Level Maths grade boundaries?
OCR publishes the official boundaries for each series on its grade boundaries page (opens in a new tab). We link there rather than copy them, because boundaries change every series and are set for the qualification as a whole.
Can I download the papers from this site?
No. The papers are © OCR 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.
What is on each OCR A Level Maths paper?
Paper 1: Pure Mathematics only (OCR content 1.01 to 1.10). Paper 2: Pure Mathematics and Statistics: a pure section, then statistics (2.01 to 2.05), including OCR's pre-release large data set. Paper 3: Pure Mathematics and Mechanics: a pure section, then mechanics (3.01 to 3.04). Each paper is 2 hours and 100 marks, with a calculator allowed.
Are these the official papers?
Yes: every question paper, mark scheme and examiner report button opens the official copy on OCR's website. We never host or copy them. Papers marked "Written by us" are our own practice papers.
