A Level Maths Predicted Papers 2027
Quick answer: nobody outside the exam boards knows what will come up in 2027, and we don't claim to. These are papers we write ourselves: full prediction papers for the six IAL units sat in January 2027 and for Edexcel 9MA0 in June 2027, each with a full mark scheme; a free full pure paper you can have now; and short timed mini-mocks (5 to 9 questions) with free samples, marked automatically.

IAL January 2027: six full prediction papers
One full paper for each Edexcel International A Level unit sat in the January 2027 series: P1, P2, P3, P4, S1 and M1, each the length, marks and timing of the real paper (75 marks, 1 hour 30 minutes, calculator allowed), with a full mark scheme and a worked solution to every question. They open together on Friday 25 December 2026, two weeks before P1, in the free Final 6 Weeks plan. Every paper is verified, independently checked by a second solver and signed off.

How the papers were chosen
Nobody outside Pearson knows what will be on the January 2027 papers, and we do not claim to. Our prediction is the coverage: each paper samples its unit's specification broadly, in the length and marks of the real paper, so one paper is a fair rehearsal of the whole unit rather than a guess at a few questions. Here is what each one covers.
| Paper | Topics, in question order |
|---|---|
| P1 (WMA11) | indices and surds; linear and quadratic inequalities; simultaneous equations with a quadratic; the discriminant; arcs and sectors in radians; straight lines; a transformed trigonometric graph; integration from a gradient function; sketching a cubic; differentiation and tangents |
| S1 (WST01) | coding, mean and standard deviation; grouped data and interpolation; Venn diagrams, conditional probability and independence; tree diagrams; correlation and regression; a discrete random variable; the normal distribution |
| P2 (WMA12) | proof; the factor and remainder theorems; binomial expansion; exponential and logarithmic equations; circles; geometric series; the trapezium rule; trigonometric equations; optimisation; area between a curve and a line |
| M1 (WME01) | momentum and impulse; constant acceleration; equilibrium on an inclined plane; vertical motion under gravity; a velocity–time graph; vectors in kinematics; friction on a rough slope; moments; connected particles over a pulley |
| P3 (WMA13) | algebraic fractions; functions and inverses with exponentials and logarithms; proving a trigonometric identity; the R cos(θ + α) form; the product and quotient rules; iteration; an exponential model; logarithmic graphs (y = axⁿ); integrating exponentials, 1/x and trigonometric functions |
| P4 (WMA14) | binomial expansion for any power; partial fractions and integration; implicit differentiation; parametric equations; integration by parts and by substitution; a volume of revolution; a separable differential equation; vector lines in 3D; proof by contradiction |
Written by Pete Bromfield, a former Head of Maths with examining experience. Every answer was worked by the author, solved again independently and then checked by a second solver working from the questions alone.
UK A Level, June 2027: Edexcel 9MA0
Three full papers in the format of Edexcel A Level Maths 9MA0: Paper 1 and Paper 2 (pure) and Paper 3 (statistics in Section A, mechanics in Section B, 50 marks each), 2 hours and 100 marks each. They open on Wednesday 12 May 2027, two weeks before Paper 1, in the same free plan; Paper 1 is free with a free account. The pure content is the same for AQA and OCR, so the pure papers suit every UK board.

What you get
- Nine full papersSix IAL units for January 2027 (P1 to P4, S1, M1) and the three Edexcel 9MA0 papers for June 2027.
- Real length and marksIAL: 75 marks in 1 hour 30 minutes. 9MA0: 100 marks in 2 hours. Calculator allowed throughout, as in the real exams.
- Full mark schemesMethod (M), accuracy (A) and independent (B) marks for every step, plus a worked solution to every question.
- Free ones tooIAL P1 and 9MA0 Paper 1 with a free account, the Predicted Paper 2027 by email, and free sample mini-mocks below.
How to use them
- Sit each one before its exam. The January set opens two weeks before P1: sit each unit's paper in the days before its exam.
- Exam conditions. Timed, in one go, with a calculator and the formulae booklet (IAL formula sheet) and nothing else.
- Mark it with the mark scheme. Line by line: a method mark needs the method, and an accuracy mark needs its method mark first.
- Fix, then redo. List the marks you lost by topic, practise those topics on the IAL unit pages, and redo the questions a few days later.

Final 6 Weeks: your final prediction set
Final set opens Friday 25 December 2026 (International A Level Maths, January 2027)
A free six-week plan counted back from your first paper, ending with a final set of timed papers. Each paper opens only once it is checked.
Start the free planSit each paper with your board's formulae booklet beside you, as in the exam. Our one-page sheets show what the booklet gives you: A Level and IAL formula sheets (PDF). Plan backwards from the 2027 exam dates, and finish with the boards' own past papers.
How to use a practice paper
- Sit it in one go, timed, with your board's formulae beside you.
- Check your answers against the marking, and note the topics where you lost marks.
- Revise those topics: A Level Maths topics (AQA, Edexcel, OCR) or IAL units.
- Finish with a full official paper from your board: Edexcel 9MA0 · AQA 7357 · OCR H240 · Edexcel IAL.

Predicted papers: common questions
Are these the real 2027 A Level Maths papers?
No. Nobody outside the exam boards knows what will be on the 2027 papers, and any site that says it does is guessing. These are practice papers we write ourselves, in the style and at the pace of the real exams.
What topics do the practice papers cover?
Core skills that every specification examines, such as solving quadratics, differentiation and integration, logarithms, the binomial distribution and Newton's second law. They are not a forecast of which questions will appear.
When do the IAL January 2027 prediction papers open?
All six open on Friday 25 December 2026, two weeks before the first January paper (P1 on Friday 8 January 2027), in the free Final 6 Weeks plan. P1 is free with a free account; P2, P3, P4, S1 and M1 come with an A Level plan or the free 7-day trial.
How long is each paper?
The IAL prediction papers are full length: 75 marks in 1 hour 30 minutes, like the real unit papers. The Edexcel 9MA0 papers are 100 marks in 2 hours each. The mini-mocks are short timed papers of 5 to 9 questions, run at the same marks-per-minute pace as the real exam.
Are they free?
Every question is free to read, and a free account marks your answers. One paper per course (UK A Level and IAL) is a free sample: its first questions open with the answers and mark scheme without signing up, and a free account (no card) opens its whole mark scheme. Answers and mark schemes for the other papers come with an A Level plan, and a 7-day free trial is available.
Where can I find real A Level Maths past papers?
On each exam board's website. Our past papers pages link to the official AQA, Edexcel and OCR papers and mark schemes, with a timer, and never copy them.
Which exam boards are they for?
The UK practice papers are written in Edexcel 9MA0 style but the content is the same for AQA, Edexcel and OCR A Level Maths. The IAL papers are for Pearson Edexcel International A Level units P1 to P4, S1 and M1.
