Which tier am I?
Look at the paper code on your mock.

Look at the code on the front of your paper. 4MA1/1F means Foundation, 4MA1/1H means Higher. Still not sure? Ask your teacher.

Your teacher picks the tier. Not you. Sorry, that's the rules.

Old course 4MA0 January 2018 to June 2019 ยท Old course 4MB0 January 2018 to June 2019

R papers are the same exam sat in a different time zone. Same content, fine to use as practice.

Not Edexcel? Same subject, other boards.

Each board sets completely different papers. Check yours before you revise the wrong thing for months.

The board and course code are printed on the front of every mock paper.

HELP. Which board am I??

Find a mock or past paper from school. The board's name is at the top of the front cover, and the course code is printed next to it, like 4MA1. No paper to hand? Ask your teacher which board and course code you are entered for.
