Formula booklet

Questions students ask
How long are the 4MA1 Foundation papers?
Paper 1F and Paper 2F are each 2 hours and 100 marks, and a calculator is allowed in both. Both papers can test the whole specification. The Foundation tier covers grades 5 to 1.
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 Foundation 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).
Should I sit Foundation or Higher?
Your school enters you for one tier. Foundation covers grades 5 to 1; Higher covers grades 9 to 4, with an allowed grade 3. If you are aiming for a 6 or above, you need Higher: see the 4MA1 Higher past papers.
