Edexcel GCSE Mathematics B — Full Archive 2010–2026

This page contains all 172 Pearson Edexcel GCSE Mathematics B past papers available for free download — 18 exam sessions from 2010 to 2026. Each session includes question papers (QP), mark schemes (MS), and where applicable, marking advice (MA) and insert materials (IN). No registration or payment required.

Pearson Edexcel GCSE Mathematics B is graded 9–1, where 9 is the highest. Grade 4 is a standard pass and grade 5 is a strong pass. Edexcel is part of Pearson, the world's largest education company, and is one of the three main exam boards in England alongside AQA and OCR.

Some Edexcel GCSE subjects offer Foundation and Higher tiers. Foundation targets grades 5–1 and Higher targets grades 9–4. Paper filenames indicate the tier — always check you're downloading the correct one for your entry. If your subject is untiered, all students sit the same papers regardless of target grade.

Edexcel mark schemes distinguish between method marks (M), accuracy marks (A), and independent marks (B). Even if your final answer is wrong, clear working can earn method marks — so always show your steps. After completing each Mathematics B past paper under timed exam conditions, mark it against the official scheme and track which topics and question types cost you the most marks. Focusing revision on your weakest areas across 3–5 papers is the most efficient way to improve your grade.
