Jan 2026Difficulty 3.5/5

A comprehensive evaluation of the January 2026 IAS Pure Mathematics (P1 and P2) exams, highlighting high-yield algebraic and calculus skills alongside conceptual traps in trigonometric periodicity and definitive integrals.

Jan 2026 (V2)Difficulty 3.0/5

The January 2026 Pure Mathematics P1 and P2 papers represent a balanced and highly structured set of examinations. P1 heavily emphasizes algebraic functions and coordinate geometry, while P2 tests a deep understanding of sequences, coordinate geometry of circles, and optimization via calculus. Key challenges included stringent rules against calculator-only methods and complex linear transformations of integrals.

Jan 2025Difficulty 3.0/5

An analysis of the January 2025 Edexcel International AS/A Level Pure Mathematics P1 & P2 examinations, highlighting key algebra, calculus, and coordinate geometry trends alongside essential examiner insights.

Oct 2025Difficulty 3.2/5

An analysis of the October 2025 Pearson Edexcel International AS-Level Pure Mathematics (XPM01) qualification, spanning WMA11/01 (P1) and WMA12/01 (P2). The papers demonstrated standard algebraic and calculus-based challenges with typical examiner pitfalls in exact values and sequence modeling.

Oct 2025 (V2)Difficulty 3.2/5

A comprehensive analysis of the October 2025 Edexcel International AS/A Level Pure Mathematics P1 and P2 examinations, highlighting core algebraic structures, coordinate geometry, calculus optimization, and trigonometry.

Jan 2023Difficulty 3.4/5

A comprehensive diagnostic analysis of the October 2023 Edexcel International A-Level Pure Mathematics (XPM01) examination, spanning both Pure Mathematics P1 (WMA11) and Pure Mathematics P2 (WMA12) papers.
