About Edexcel IGCSE Mathematics A past papers
This page holds 32 question papers and 28 mark schemes for IGCSE Mathematics A, covering 11 exam sittings from 2020 to 2024. Every paper is free to open, with no account and no download limit, and each one sits beside its mark scheme so you can mark your own work the way an examiner would. The most recent sitting here is May 2024.
The units covered are P1F, P1H, P2F and P2H. All papers here carry the specification code 4MA1. Papers marked F are Foundation tier and H are Higher tier — they are different exams, so check which one you are entered for before revising from it.
Papers here come from the January, May, October and November series — about 2.2 sittings a year across the 5 years covered, which is why there is usually a recent paper available whichever session you are entered for. 4 of the question papers here do not yet have their mark scheme beside them; the rest are complete pairs. If you need one of the missing schemes, tell us and it usually goes up within a few days.
Revising Mathematics A
Mathematics A is sat at two tiers, and choosing the right papers to revise from matters as much as the revision itself.
Papers marked F are Foundation tier and H are Higher tier. They are different exams with different grade ranges, and working through the wrong one is either demoralising or falsely reassuring. Check with your teacher which you are entered for before you start.
Both papers are calculator papers, which is precisely why method marks matter so much: a correct answer with no working can score full marks, but a wrong answer with no working scores nothing at all. Write every step, even the ones you did in your head.
Work in topic blocks rather than whole papers at first — all the trigonometry questions from five years, then all the algebra. Patterns repeat far more than students expect, and seeing the same question shape four times is what makes it automatic.
