Topic question packs

NEW

All questions from the legacy C1 + C2 papers (2008-spec WJEC modular Maths, 2011–2017) that map onto the new 2017-spec Unit 1, hand-sorted into 13 single-topic packs. The 2008 C1 / C2 syllabus lined up neatly with new-spec Pure A — everything in the legacy corpus belongs in Unit 1. Legacy C1 / C2 did not include proof by deduction / counter-example or 2D vectors, so those spec topics have no legacy practice here. The harder calculus, compound-angle trig and rational-n binomial expansion sit in Unit 3 Pure B.

Topic question packs

NEW

Hand-sorted onto the new 2017-spec Unit 2 topics, drawn from legacy M1 (mechanics 1) and S1 (statistics 1), plus the Binomial-proportion hypothesis tests from S2. Legacy M1 included moments, statics, projectiles and friction-on-inclines, and legacy S1 included Poisson, continuous RVs, mean / variance of discrete random variables and population-mean hypothesis testing — those topics moved to Unit 4 Applied B or to Further Maths in the 2017 spec, and aren’t included here. Legacy S1 had no statistical-sampling or data-presentation questions so those new-spec sub-topics have no legacy practice.

Topic question packs

NEW

All 169 questions from the legacy C3 + C4 papers (2008-spec WJEC modular Maths, 2011–2017), split into 17 single-topic packs. C3 had Jan and Jun sittings 2012–2014 plus Jun 2011 / 2015–2017 (ten papers); C4 only ran a June series (seven papers). Each pack contains every legacy question that maps onto a single 2017-spec A2 Unit 3 topic, hand-sorted — cover, spec recap, KaTeX crib sheet, then whole questions with the original marks preserved.

Topic question packs

NEW

Hand-sorted onto the new 2017-spec Unit 4 topics, drawn from the legacy modules that map onto each: M1, M2 for mechanics; S1, S2 for stats. The legacy 2008-spec modules covered substantially more material than the 2017 Unit 4 — content like work/energy/power, Hooke’s law, circular motion, confidence intervals and Poisson hypothesis testing has been moved to Further Maths in the 2017 spec, and is not included here.
