Paper components in this session
The Mathematics 9709 qualification is built from 6 paper components; a full A-Level is four of them, worth 250 marks. The grid below shows each paper appearing in the March 2024 bundle on this page.
About the March 2024 9709 session
Mathematics 9709 is structured around six paper components: Paper 1 (Pure Mathematics 1), Paper 2 (Pure Mathematics 2), Paper 3 (Pure Mathematics 3), Paper 4 (Mechanics), Paper 5 (Probability & Statistics 1), and Paper 6 (Probability & Statistics 2). AS Level is two papers: Paper 1 (Pure Mathematics 1) plus Paper 2 (Pure Mathematics 2), Paper 4 (Mechanics) or Paper 5 (Probability & Statistics 1). The Paper 1 and 2 route is AS only and does not count towards the full A Level. The full A Level is four papers: Papers 1 and 3 (Pure Mathematics 1 and 3) plus either Papers 4 and 5 (Mechanics and Probability & Statistics 1) or Papers 5 and 6 (Probability & Statistics 1 and 2).
The March 2024 bundle below contains 13 files across 6 paper components (single variant). Mark schemes are included for every question paper. The examiner report has not yet been released for this session. Grade thresholds are linked at the top of this page.
How to use these A-Level Mathematics past papers
Timed practice under exam conditions
Sit each paper at the exact duration listed in the components grid. The A-Level pacing problem on Pure 3 and Probability & Statistics is famously tight, so finishing on time is itself a skill worth practising.
Mark with the March 2024 MS
Cambridge mark schemes show acceptable wording and method marks for each step. After self-marking, log which questions cost you method marks vs accuracy marks — they need different fixes.
Read the examiner report (when released)
The ER for this session flags the specific questions where most candidates struggled and what the examiners wanted to see instead. It's the single highest-leverage document in the bundle for targeted revision.
Use grade thresholds to set a target
A-Level thresholds shift each session with paper difficulty, and there is no A* on a single paper: Cambridge sets A* for the overall A Level only. In March 2024, an A* needed 226 to 228 out of 250 (90% to 91%) for the whole A Level sat in one series, depending on the option, and AS grade a needed 101 to 107 out of 125 (81% to 86%) (Cambridge grade threshold table, March 2024). See the grade thresholds for every 9709 session.
