GCSE practice exam papers

Found a website where you can buy practice papers for GCSE maths:

(advert removed by moderator)

The papers are original (ie not past papers) and come with worked solutions.

Re: GCSE practice exam papers

GCSE, in UK, is qualification in a specific subject. Essentially, it is similar to CBSE.

Re: GCSE practice exam papers

General Certtificate of Secondary Education, usually taken at age 16.

There are three exams boards in the UK that produce papers at GCSE.  Mostly recent papers can be downloaded for free from the board websites.

In maths there are two levels, foundation and higher.  Because of the constraints of the National Curriculum and the standardizing powers of the Joint Curriculum Council, there is little difference between the different board papers.

Re: GCSE practice exam papers

Agnishom, usually people believe CBSE is patterning near GCSE but generally most people agree CBSE is of a higher standard then GCSE.
