Where can I find practise exam papers to complete?
The Maths department pages on the schools FROG VLE contain a number of practise papers and other resources. There are also plenty of other papers available on the internet that a quick google search will find.
In the Maths department site is an online copy of the textbooks accessible by all students.
To access practise papers, click on the year 11 tab
Here you can find practice papers for both the foundation and linear exams. Your exam consists of 2 papers, a non-calculator and a calculator paper.
