How to use these GCSE maths foundation papers

AQA Maths Foundation Papers: Set 1a

These specially created GCSE maths foundation papers are an essential addition to your GCSE maths revision for the foundation tier maths course of most exam boards including WJEC and the IGCSE.

They closely match the past GCSE maths papers provided by the AQA, Edexcel & OCR exam boards. All maths questions on the exam papers are created by current or former AQA, Edexcel and OCR examiners and expert maths teachers.

AQA Maths Foundation Papers: Set 1a

While the style and layout of these question papers will be familiar to students the content is new and unique.

Schools often use these GCSE maths foundation papers for mock exams as the mark scheme and coverage (including topics like area and perimeter, angles in polygons, and decimals fractions and percentages) enable you also to see individual gaps for each student.
