PastPaperPractice is a free website for students studying Pearson Edexcel IGCSE and Pearson Edexcel International Advanced Level (IAL) Mathematics. It organizes real past exam questions by topic, so a student revising a specific topic can go straight to every past paper question on that topic, in one place, instead of searching through whole papers one at a time.

Every question has:

• The original exam question, shown in a clean, focused viewer
• The official mark scheme
• A video walkthrough explaining how to solve it, timestamped to the exact moment in the video

PastPaperPractice currently covers:

• IGCSE Mathematics A (Pearson Edexcel 4MA1)
• International Advanced Level Pure Mathematics 1, 2, 3, and 4

The site is free to browse. Students can view every question and its mark scheme without an account. Creating a free account (approved by the site's maintainer, a working mathematics teacher) unlocks the ability to track your own progress over time, question by question.

PastPaperPractice is built and maintained by a Pearson Edexcel mathematics teacher, for students preparing for these exact qualifications.

The grade range shown on each question (e.g. "4-5", "7-9") is the site creator's own estimate of the grade a question is aimed at, based on experience teaching this course. It is a helpful guide for choosing what to practice next — it is not an official grade boundary or difficulty rating set by Pearson, and it hasn't been reviewed or approved by Pearson. Treat it as a rough guide, not a guarantee of what grade a similar question would earn you in a real exam.

Question and mark scheme content on this site is drawn from official past papers published by Pearson Edexcel for the International GCSE Mathematics A (4MA1) and International Advanced Level Mathematics qualifications. Pearson Edexcel and Pearson Education Limited own the copyright in that original exam content. PastPaperPractice is an independent, non-commercial study resource created by a teacher for their students — it is not produced, reviewed, endorsed, or operated by Pearson, and Pearson is not responsible for the accuracy of anything on this site, including the grade estimates described above, the video walkthroughs, or any other content or feature of the site.

The mark scheme for each question is there to help you check your own work and understand exactly how marks are awarded — not to be copied instead of attempting the question. You'll only get real value out of this site if you:

1. 1. Attempt the question fully yourself first, as if it were a real exam question.
2. 2. Only then look at the mark scheme and/or watch the video.
3. 3. Mark your own attempt honestly against the mark scheme, and save the grade that actually reflects what you did — not what you wish you'd done.

Being honest with your self-marking is what makes your progress data on My Progress actually useful to you (and to your teacher, if you choose to share it) — a score you didn't really earn just hides the topics you still need to work on.

My Progress shows how you're doing across two views:

• By Topic — see your attempted questions and saved grades grouped by topic (e.g. Circle theorems, Quadratic equations), so you can spot which topics need more practice.
• By Exam — see your progress paper-by-paper, grouped by year, so you can track how many questions you've worked through from each real past exam.

A "watched" badge means you've viewed the video walkthrough for that question; a score badge means you've marked and saved a grade for it — a question can show both once you've done both. Use My Progress regularly to decide what to practice next, rather than working through papers in a fixed order.
