For teachers
Set a baseline test for your class from the class page, in one lesson: online, or on paper with a one-page answer sheet that is read from a photo. Print the question paper and mark scheme, release results when everyone has finished, and see each student's gaps and the class's weakest topics. It works with a free class too.
Questions
Which test should my class take?
The 4MA1 tests suit Foundation and Higher groups alike: the Year 10 test covers the Key Stage 3 maths Edexcel IGCSE builds on, and the Year 11 test the Year 10 content, with some Higher topics flagged in the table above.
Is a calculator allowed?
Yes, in this test. In the real exams: A calculator may be used in all four papers.
How does the report map onto the course?
Each question is tagged with an Edexcel 4MA1 specification section (the table above), so a gap points to the part of the course to revise and to the matching 4MA1 specification checklist.
