past papers for level 2 aqa further maths?? Any maths teachers able to kindly help?

[gcsehelps]

DD says there are only 2 sets of past papers plus a set of specimen papers for level 2 aqa further maths. Would anyone be able to recommend any others that would cover the same syllabus at the correct standard. Thank you very much

There are lots more than two past papers. There is a useful list of them here with links to the papers and mark schemes further down the page.

@Nellieboo58 Thank you but I found that site and couldnt get the links to open (and still cant) so presumed u must need to pay for them or something. Do the links open for u?

Those links won't open because they just link to the AQA site and AQA have taken them down.

If found this one:

www.westiesworkshop.com/whole-past-papers/aqa-level-2-further-maths-papers/

Which seems to have accessible papers.

@Frlrlrubert thank you that is very helpful, yes I can get those to open. However why would AQA take the past papers down? Has the syllabus changed at all? Would they still be appropriate to do? Thank you

I teach/tutor science not maths, they've done the same there and there has been no syllabus change. I don't know why they've done it. Their catalogue for A level is missing totally random ones as well.

I should think they are still fine to use for practice. I use the older science ones with my students. In fact they are usually more representative because 2020, 2021 and 2022 were weird covid years.

Not past papers but high quality practice papers here: www.1stclassmaths.com/exam-papers
The past papers are also there if you haven't got hold of them already

Thank you

They've taken them down because the syllabus changed, first exam sitting June 2020. The old syllabus was graded A^ to C, the new syllabus uses number grades.

Having a look at the new syllabus, it looks almost identical to the old one but I haven't taught the new syllabus, only the old one so don't know the details. The exam may be in a different format too. It would be worth looking at old papers as some of the questions on them are great, but definitely don't take them as representative of the current exam.
