Formula booklet
International GCSE Mathematics A formulae sheet (Higher tier) · Pearson Edexcel · 4MA1 specification, Appendix 5 (current)
4MA1 has no separate booklet: the Higher tier formulae sheet is printed inside every exam paper and in Appendix 5 of the specification (the link).
Questions students ask
How long are the 4MA1 Higher papers?
Paper 1H and Paper 2H are each 2 hours and 100 marks, and a calculator is allowed in both. Both papers can test the whole specification. The Higher tier covers grades 9 to 4 (with an allowed grade 3).
Where can I find the newest papers?
Higher and Foundation tiers. Pearson publishes 4MA1 papers, mark schemes and examiners' reports from June 2018 to June 2025 (January series until 2023, November from 2020). The newest series, November 2025 and June 2026, are for teachers only for now.
Where are the grade boundaries?
On Pearson's grade boundaries page (opens in a new tab), for every series. We link there rather than quote them.
Is there a 4MA1 formula sheet?
Yes: the Higher tier formulae sheet is printed inside every paper, so there is no separate booklet. The specification has a copy too (see the formula section below).
Are the Foundation papers (1F and 2F) here?
They have their own page: 4MA1 Foundation past papers. Each is 2 hours and 100 marks with a calculator allowed, for grades 5 to 1. For Foundation revision, use our 4MA1 Foundation notes and questions.
