GCSE Maths mock papers

What's in each paper

Each practice paper has 24 multiple-choice questions in 45 minutes, spread evenly across the six AQA GCSE Maths strands: Number; Algebra; Ratio, proportion and rates of change; Geometry and measures; Probability; and Statistics. Every sitting is drawn to be comparably hard, so the trend in your scores means something, and the results show which strands need more work.

Foundation or Higher?

Foundation tier goes up to grade 5; Higher is for grades 4 to 9. Your child's school decides which tier they're entered for, so if you aren't sure, their maths teacher will know. Papers open now: GCSE Mathematics (AQA), Foundation tier and GCSE Mathematics (AQA), Higher tier.

What the grade means

Each result shows an indicative grade: where that paper would land on a practice grade table, adjusted for how hard it was. It is never an official grade boundary and never a prediction. AQA sets the real boundaries each series from everyone who sat the exam.

How it differs from the real GCSE

The real AQA GCSE Maths exam is three 90-minute written papers (one without a calculator), 240 marks in all, and most of its questions aren't multiple choice. These papers are shorter and multiple choice, so use them to find the strands that need work, alongside full written past papers.

Common questions

Do I need an account?

You can browse every mock’s page without one. Sitting a mock needs a free parent account, so the results are saved privately to your family.

Are these AQA papers?

No. They’re unofficial practice papers styled on the AQA specification’s strands and tiers. We aren’t affiliated with or endorsed by AQA.

Who can see the results?

Only your family: your parent account, and your child’s own sign-in if you set one up. No leaderboards, and no comparing your child with anyone else’s.
