  1. Percentages · 4 marks

    Lena borrows £800. She is charged simple interest at \(4\%\) per year.

    Tom borrows £800. He is charged compound interest at \(3.8\%\) per year.

    Both borrow the money for 4 years. Who pays more interest, and by how much?

    Worked answer
    1. Lena (simple interest): 4% of £800 = £32 a year, so 4 × £32 = £128.
    2. Tom (compound interest): 800 × 1.038⁴ = 928.708…, so the interest is £128.71.
    3. Tom pays £128.71 − £128 = £0.71 more.

    Answer: Tom, by £0.71

  2. Sequences · 2 marks

    The \(n\)th term of a sequence is \(3n - 1\).

    Is 100 a term of the sequence? Give a reason for your answer.

    Worked answer
    1. Solve 3n − 1 = 100: 3n = 101, n = 33.66…
    2. n must be a whole number, so 100 is not a term (the terms near it are 98 and 101).

    Answer: No: \(3n - 1 = 100\) gives \(n = 33.66\ldots\), not a whole number

  3. Graphical representation of data · 3 marks

    120 people each chose one activity: swim, run or cycle. 70 of them were adults. 15 children chose cycle and 20 children chose swim. 25 adults chose run. 45 people in total chose swim.

    How many adults chose cycle?

    Worked answer
    1. Adults who chose swim: 45 − 20 = 25.
    2. Adults: 70 = 25 (swim) + 25 (run) + cycle, so cycle = 20.

    Answer: \(20\)

Both Foundation tier papers can test the whole 4MA1 specification at Foundation level:

We haven't mapped this paper question by question yet, so here are our revision units for the whole specification. Each opens the practice for that unit.

Questions students ask

Where is the June 2025 Paper 2F mark scheme?

The mark scheme button above opens Pearson's own copy.

What are the grade boundaries for 4MA1 June 2025?

Pearson publishes the official boundaries for every series on its grade boundaries page (opens in a new tab). They are set for the qualification (both papers together), so we link there rather than quote them.

What is the difference between 1F and 1FR?

R papers are the version sat in some time zones. They follow the same specification, length and mark scheme style, so both are good practice.
