As part of our regular review of assessment materials, we have updated our sample assessment material for the following qualifications:

• AS Level Further Mathematics B (MEI) H635 – all papers
  
• A Level Further Mathematics B (MEI) H645 – all papers

This is to reflect the changes we’re making to our live assessment materials for the June 2025 series onwards, see below for details.

Amended sample mark schemes

To improve clarity for teachers, we’ve replaced E1/G1 marks in our sample mark schemes with M1, A1 or B1 marks. 

You can view and download our amended AS and A Level sample question paper and mark schemes from: 

• the Assessment > Sample assessment materials section of the Further Mathematics B (MEI) qualification page on our website. 
• the Assessment > Exams > Sample assessment materials section of Teach Cambridge. 

New guidance for mark annotation

For teachers using the AS and A Level Further Mathematics B (MEI) practice papers that are available on Teach Cambridge, we’ve provided a new mark annotation change guide to help with cross-referencing E1/G1 marks to M1, A1, B1 marks.

You can view and download the change guide from the Assessment > Assessment Support section on Teach Cambridge.

Please note, our guidance to answering questions for these assessments has not changed.
