Preparation for CAP4

Your very first step should be to make sure you know The Knowledge off by heart. The Knowledge for Year 13 has been updated for CAP4 - and The Knowledge Answers are available to check.

Single Maths Resources

The following links are my top recommendations for Single Maths:

  • For specific topics my top recommendation is still ALevelMathsRevision.com - Single Maths.
  • For hard practice papers matched to the current syllabus then use Madas Maths Practice Papers - they are difficult but there are full solutions.
  • For older papers there are past MEI papers - the C1-C4 papers match the Single Maths course very well.
  • The Edexcel Textbooks have more topic specific practice.

Further Maths Resources

If you know you have some weak topics then you should target these first, rather than jumping straight into full past papers.

  • For specific topics my top recommendation is still ALevelMathsRevision.com - Further Maths.
  • For past papers covering last year's further material there are past MEI papers - the FP1 papers match the Year 12 Further Maths material well - but ignore the graph sketching questions.
  • I have put together a selection of past paper questions on Polar Curves and Calculus with Inverse Trig - you can find this in the revision section of our Notebook but also HERE, with answers at the bottom.

Other Resources

  • MadAsMaths - the "Maths Booklets" section has excellent, challenging topic-specific questions with full written solutions. It can be a little difficult to navigate so go here for integration, here for trigonometry, and here for other Single Pure topics. For Futher Pure topics you can find sheets on complex numbers, roots of polynomials and special sums here.
  • Physics and Maths Tutor also has topic specific pages with cheat sheets as well as selected questions.
