WJEC GCSE · Made for Wales 2025
Mathematics
WJEC GCSE Mathematics and Numeracy (Double Award) — the new combined qualification replacing GCSE Mathematics and GCSE Mathematics – Numeracy from September 2025. First sat summer 2026, first awarded November 2026.
2025 Specification ↗
NEW
New spec note: from September 2025 there’s just one combined Maths GCSE in Wales — the Double Award. It replaces the two separate GCSEs (Mathematics + Mathematics – Numeracy) that ended summer 2025.

Past papers
The new spec is first sat in summer 2026, so the only material currently available is the official Sample Assessment Materials (SAMs) published 19 December 2024. Each SAM PDF contains the question paper, mark scheme and an assessment mapping grid. Real past papers will appear here from June 2026 onwards.

Topic question packs PLACEHOLDER
Topic-by-topic question packs sourced from the legacy 2015-spec WJEC GCSE Mathematics + Mathematics – Numeracy papers (Higher tier, 2017–2024), organised onto the new spec’s Unit 1 / Unit 2 / Unit 3 topic structure. Removed topics (vectors, function transformations, completing the square, exponential graphs, surd rationalisation, compass constructions) are filtered out. Coming soon — placeholders shown below.

Topic question packs PLACEHOLDER
Foundation tier packs coming soon
The first build pass is focused on Higher tier. Foundation tier topic packs will be added next, with topic groupings tuned to the Foundation tier content (no circle theorems, simpler algebra, basic probability only).
