For each tier there are 10 full sets of papers. Each set consists of one non-calculator and one calculator paper. The full versions of the papers look just like those candidates will sit, with spaces to write in their answers. The short versions do not have spaces to write in, so they can be used again, saving on printing costs. Candidates write on ordinary paper with just the diagrams they need to write on supplied on individual answer sheets.

The papers have been carefully constructed so that the number of marks for each Assessment Objective and at each available grade meet the specification requirements. Also, the styles of questions are based on those set by each Awarding Body. As with a sequence of real papers, this set of papers ensures that each part of each topic is assessed as students work through them. It is because of this careful balancing that we believe these papers are the best preparation you can give your students for the new exam.

The papers have been written by Shaun Armstrong, an experienced teacher, examiner and author. He is the main author of the popular "Solomon Papers" used by many schools and colleges to prepare students for AS and A levels and the Improving Skills books.
