This is a short test designed for students who have just finished studying the sequences and series topic in the second year of A level Maths. Every exam board should find this useful and this test is good practice both just after finishing the topic and months later in revision for the exams. Ensuring that all students have the skills needed to answer the questions in papers regarding this area of maths.
This is a short 10 question test aimed at covering all of the skills needed for AS level further maths. Aimed at OCR MEI this test is useful to all teachers that teach the basics of complex numbers including Argand diagrams, basic algebra involving complex numbers, square rooting a complex number not using De Moivre’s and realising fractions where the denominator is complex. This test is useful practice for anyone studying further maths and will boost grades particularly for lower ability students.
This is a short test aimed at both AS and A level students covering the basics of Matrices. These reasonably easy questions aimed at just reminding students of the basics of matrices at AS level covering transformations, multiplying matrices by hand, invariant lines, simultaneous equations and inverses. this test is perfect as a short reminder and should be beneficial to most students
This is a longer 82 mark test designed to test students in a range of pure maths topics. Aimed at AQA but applicable to all students this test is good practice for the basics and slightly less basic topics as well as standard questions such as derive the compound angle formulae and differentiate sin(x).

Angles over 90 Degrees
Trigonometric Graphs
Trigonometric Identities of Sin^2x + Cos^2x = 1 and Tanx = Sinx/Cosx
Solving Trig Questions
This is the perfect resource to revisit Trigonometry with students and to identify misconceptions, as I find students often either forget trigonometric methods or confuse when each can be used. Under the UK Qualifications, this is GCSE/AS Level, and worldwide covers what is generally expected between 14-17
This test covers all of the standard functions needed for both A level and AS level mathematics. Including polynomials, circles, reciprocals, exponentials and all of the trig graphs. Any student will benefit from this test although those with a graphical calculator will get pretty much full marks with not much effort.
Here are some subject tests covering multiple aspects of A level maths. Although aimed at AQA A level maths these resources are useful for anyone taking the subject. Best use of these tests is for revision at the end of year 13 but can be used at any point that the teacher deems useful

This is a short test aimed at covering the simple inequalities questions that trip some students up at the start. This test does include a question that features exponentials so knowledge of that will be required to answer every question.
This short subject test covers all of the basics of polynomials covering factor theorem, remainder theorem, sketching and factorising. This is perfect for concluding the topic at the start of first year.
A PowerPoint covering the Year 1 knowledge for Coordinate Geometry, including examples, questions and explanation. This resource can be used as a recap before beginning related topics in the second year or for AS/End Of Year Exam Students to help them identify misconceptions before the exam
A 16 slide reivison powerpoint with explanations, examples and questions designed to cover the entire content for both GCSE and AS/A Level Maths. This is the perfect resource to briefly revisit the topic before an exam.
A 24 slide PowerPoint covering the entire knowledge and techniques for both GCSE and AS/Year 1 A level Maths. Complete with questions, explanations and diagrams, this resource can be used to quickly revisit the topic and identify misconceptions in class, or be shown just before the exam to tighten methods.
Short test designed to assess the skill of new students involves the basics such as indicies, surds, quadratics, and straight lines. Perfect for getting back into maths at the start of A level
Here is a short test covering everything relating to partial fractions and the integrations that go with them. The test is 32 marks with questions of varying difficulty built to practice the full range of questions particularly aimed at AQA A level maths but works with every other board just as well.
A 16 Slide Powerpoint containing all students need to know for GCSE, AS Level or A Level Maths. Containing examples, questions and explanations, this powerpoint is designed to help briefly revisit the topic for students and identify any weak areas
Here is a short end of topic test for second year A level maths, covering both AS and A level content regarding binomial expansion including a link to integration.
All students should be able to attempt this test and improve.
This is a short 26 mark test designed as an end of topic recap for everything in coordinate geometry inculding some simultaneous equations quadratics and even a fun circle challenge for the most able students. this test is accessible by all and will be able to raise the grades of every student.
