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.
Where can I find the newest papers?
Higher tier only (this site's course). Pearson publishes 4MA1 papers for the January (until 2023), June and November series; the newest series is released to teachers first. Cambridge IGCSE 0580 papers are listed separately (links only); this site's practice is Edexcel 4MA1.
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).
