  1. Sit it in one go, in a quiet room, with the equipment you'd have in the exam.
  2. Write your working on paper, then type your final answers.
  3. When you finish, open every wrong answer and compare your working with the mark scheme.
  4. Note the topics that cost you marks and practise those before your next paper.

Questions about the mock papers

Are these free GCSE Maths mock papers?

Yes. Both papers are free, with no sign-up. Your answers are saved in your browser while you work, and you can have your marks emailed to you when you finish.

Are these real past papers?

No. They are original papers written by TutorAura in the style of the GCSE exam, with multi-part questions, marks and a mark scheme. For official past papers, use your exam board's website, which publishes them with mark schemes.

How are the papers marked?

Correct final answers earn the full marks for that part automatically. Wrong answers score zero here, so compare your working with the mark scheme shown for each part: in a real exam you can still earn method marks.

Do I get a grade?

No. Grade boundaries change every exam series and differ between boards, so we don't estimate a grade. You get your marks, a breakdown by topic and a worked explanation for every answer.

Is there a formula sheet?

GCSE Maths students in England are given a formulae sheet in the exam (confirmed through 2027). These papers don't include one, so have your board's sheet beside you, or practise recalling the formulas.
