Paper 2 Mechanics
Friday 15 May 2026 Afternoon Time allowed: 1 hour 30 minutes
Materials For Examiner’s Use
l You must have the AQA Formulae and statistical tables booklet for
A‑level Mathematics and A‑level Further Mathematics. Question Mark
l You should have a graphical or scientific calculator that meets the
requirements of the specification. 1
l You must ensure you have the other optional Question Paper/Answer Book
2
for which you are entered (either Discrete or Statistics). You will have
1 hour 30 minutes to complete both papers. 3
Instructions
l Use black ink or black ball‑point pen. Pencil should only be used for drawing. 4
l Fill in the boxes at the top of this page.
l Answer all questions.
5
l You must answer each question in the space provided for that question.
6
If you require extra space for your answer(s), use the lined pages at the end
of this book. Write the question number against your answer(s). 7
l Do not write outside the box around each page or on blank pages.
l Show all necessary working; otherwise marks for method may be lost. 8
l Do all rough work in this book. Cross through any work that you do not want
to be marked. 9
Information 10
l The marks for questions are shown in brackets.
l The maximum mark for this paper is 40.
