What this paper covers

Both Higher tier papers can test the whole 4MA1 specification:

Numbers and the number system
Equations, formulae and identities
Sequences, functions and graphs
Geometry and trigonometry
Vectors and transformation geometry
Statistics and probability

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 January 2023 Paper 2H mark scheme?

The mark scheme button above opens Pearson's own copy (a dashed button opens Pearson's past-paper page, where it is listed).

What are the grade boundaries for 4MA1 January 2023?

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 1H and 1HR?

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.
