In December last year we published draft versions of the mark schemes for those of you using the papers as mock assessments and wishing to make an early start in marking them. If you did download the draft versions, please do make sure you download the final mark schemes now.

Please ensure that all of these materials are kept secure so that others can use the papers as mocks through the upcoming year.

Please see our website for November 2025 grade boundaries and provisional exam statistics, as well as post-results services if needed.

Each resource includes a variety of candidate responses from the summer series alongside commentary from the examiners, leading you through a range of common misconceptions, clever methods and marking pointers.

They’re really useful to use either as a guide to student performance, or to have alongside you when marking candidate responses if you’ve used the papers as mocks.

These reformatted question papers demonstrate the updated style that will appear in Core Maths A & B exams from summer 2026 onwards (questions will be typed in Arial font and answer spaces will be dotted lines after each question part). They can be used to help prepare your current students for the summer 2026 exams.

Reformatted sample assessment materials are also available from Teach Cambridge now and reformatted summer 2024 question papers will be published soon.

The AMSP are running an online Core Maths Specification Network for our qualifications on Wednesday 11 February. Visit their website to find out more and book your place.

Amy has written a blog ‘What does the Curriculum and Assessment Review mean for maths?’ that you can read now. In this she breaks down the key recommendations that directly affect maths and explores what these may mean for teachers and students in the classroom.

We’ll also be running an online CAR briefing focussing on maths, on Wednesday 4 February 4-4.45pm, so book your place now. During the session, we’ll share the recommendations and you'll be able to share your thoughts and questions.

We also have several on-demand professional development courses that can be found on our maths professional development webpage. Keep an eye out for more appearing in the future.

Materials from past courses are also available to download from Teach Cambridge. Select your qualification, then in the menu go to ‘Training’, then ‘Past training events’.

Book your place now for any of the below:

• Tuesday 10 February – Level 3 FSMQ: Additional Maths (online) - We’ll talk about ideas to embed revision for the FSMQ alongside GCSE (9-1) Maths.
• Tuesday 3 March – A Level Maths (online) - We’ll mainly focus on the statistics strand in this network, but also share ideas for revision across the full A Level content.
• Tuesday 17 March – GCSE (9-1) Maths (online) - To support revision for summer 2026, we’re giving you a second opportunity hear about student performance in the summer 2025 series (this network will repeat material previously presented in our autumn 2025 networks).

Whether you’re already teaching a qualification or just interested in learning more, you’re very welcome to attend. We look forward to seeing you there.

If you’d be interested in running a future face-to-face network at your school or college, please let us know.

Join us for ‘Right tier, brighter path: Using baseline assessments to unlock GCSE (9-1) Maths success’ on Tuesday, 27 January at 4pm to listen in and discover more.

We’ll demonstrate how the secondary baseline assessment can help you better understand your students’ abilities using prediction charts and chances graphs that can highlight where students are most likely to succeed and put them on the path to improvement. We’ll also go through the differences in the exam requirements between the two tiers and show you the range of support and resources available to help you.

If you’re unable to join us live, please register and you’ll be sent the recording and a certificate of attendance shortly after the webinar.
