Edexcel GCSE Maths Higher mock papers
Three Edexcel-style papers of 80 marks: Paper 1 without a calculator, Papers 2 and 3 with one. Questions are built in lettered parts (a), (b), (c) with the marks in the margin and a “Total for Question” line, the way Pearson Edexcel sets them.
Independent mock papers in the Edexcel style — not official Pearson Edexcel papers.

How the Pearson Edexcel GCSE Maths (1MA1) exam works
Edexcel also sets three papers of 1 hour 30 minutes and 80 marks. Paper 1 is non-calculator; Papers 2 and 3 are calculator papers. Each paper covers the whole course.
Edexcel papers start with short, direct questions and climb steadily in difficulty, so the final third of each paper is where most of the problem-solving and proof marks sit.
How to revise for it
- Pace the paper: aim to reach the last third with plenty of time left.
- Practise multi-step problem-solving and ‘show that’ questions.
- Keep calculator skills sharp for Papers 2 and 3, including standard form and powers.
Is Higher right for your child?
Questions parents ask
Are these real Edexcel past papers?
No. They are brand-new mock papers written in the Edexcel style, with the same number of papers, marks, timings and question style as the real Edexcel GCSE Maths exam. Because they are new, your child cannot have seen the questions before, which makes them a fair test. We are not connected to Pearson Edexcel.
How many mock papers do I get?
There are 13 complete sets, A to M. Each set has 3 papers, so that is 39 full papers in total. You can buy one paper (£6), one complete set (£12.99), or several sets.
How is it marked?
Every question is marked the moment your child submits the paper, with a worked solution for each one.
Will my child get a predicted grade?
Yes. The final mark is set against recent Edexcel grade boundaries to give a predicted grade from 1 to 9. It is a guide to where your child is now, not a promise of the final result.
