Edexcel International A Level Maths, P1 to P4 and beyond.
Tell your tutor which unit you’re sitting next, whether that’s P1 or S2. It sets out each method, lets you do the next line, and marks your working the way examiners do.
Practise A Level MathsThis is worth 3 marks. They go for:
- Raise the power and divide by the new power, on at least one term (1 mark)
- 2x³ − 2x² + 3x (1 mark)
- + c (1 mark)
Examiner tip: An indefinite integral needs + c. Leaving it off is one of the most common ways to drop a mark in P1.

Assessment
How Pearson Edexcel International A Level Mathematics is assessed
Every unit is a 1 h 30 min paper. The International AS is P1, P2 and one of M1, S1 or D1. The International A Level is P1–P4 plus two applied units: M1 and S1, M1 and D1, M1 and M2, S1 and D1, or S1 and S2.
Specification XMA01/YMA01 (Issue 3), first examined in 2019.

Where marks are lost
Common Pearson Edexcel International A Level Maths mistakes
Ignoring the word “hence”.
“Hence” means use the result you’ve just found. A fresh method that skips it can lose the marks.
Resolving forces in the wrong directions.
On a slope, draw a force diagram and resolve parallel and perpendicular to the slope, not horizontally and vertically.
Using the wrong tail of the Normal distribution.
Standardise with Z = (X − μ) ÷ σ, then sketch the curve and shade the area you want before using the tables.
