Set out like the real thing.
Every numerical answer and every printed result in the mark scheme was checked by computer algebra or exact probability calculation.
How a Plumi pack compares
What you get in a Plumi pack, beside what a typical paid practice pack gives you.
- Every answer checked twice
Each numerical answer in the mark schemes was re-checked, not just worked out and trusted. Each pack says how, on its page.
- Mark schemes like the real ones
M1, A1 and B1 marks, what to allow, error carried forward, and a note on the slip most students make.
- Easy to super hard
Each section climbs from a warm-up to three stretch-and-challenge questions, like the end of a real paper.
| What you get | Plumi pack | Typical paid pack |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free, no sign-up | Usually paid |
| Questions | 30, across every part of the course | Often one paper’s worth |
| Mark scheme | Every mark, with what to allow and error carried forward | Often answers only |
| Common slips | A note on each question saying where marks are lost | Rarely |
| Answers re-checked | Every numerical answer | Rarely |
| Difficulty | Labelled Easy to Super hard, question by question | Rarely labelled |

Questions
Are these real past papers?
No. Plumi wrote every question in the style of the board’s papers, to its specification, with a mark scheme in the board’s style. They are not produced or endorsed by the exam board. For the board’s own papers, see our past papers pages.
Are they really free?
Yes. Download the questions and the mark scheme, print them or write on them on a tablet. There is nothing to sign up for.
How should I use a pack?
Sit one section at a time, timed and by hand. Mark it with the scheme, read the note on each question you dropped, and come back to those a week later. Each section takes about two to three hours.
Can Plumi mark my answers?
On iPad, yes: Plumi marks handwritten answers to questions like these against each question’s own mark scheme. The packs themselves are for marking by hand, and the scheme tells you everything you need.
