PAPER 3A: Further Pure Mathematics 1
Candidates may use any calculator permitted by Pearson regulations. Calculators must not have
the facility for symbolic algebraic manipulation, differentiation and integration, or have
retrievable mathematical formulae stored in them.
Instructions
• If pencil is used for diagrams/sketches/graphs it must be dark (HB or B). centre
number and candidate number.
Answer all questions and ensure that your answers to parts of questions are
clearly labelled.
Answer the questions in the spaces provided –
there may be more space than you need.
You should show sufficient working to make your methods clear. Answers
without working may not gain full credit.
Inexact answers should be given to three significant figures unless otherwise stated.
• There are 10 questions in this question paper. The total mark for this paper is 75. – use this
as a guide as to how much time to spend on each question.
• Read each question carefully before you start to answer it.
• Check your answers if you have time at the end.
