I compared my GCSE Maths predicted paper with the real GCSE Maths 2026 paper after the exam.

Obviously nobody can predict the exact questions, but I was interested to see how many topics and skills overlapped.

The following topics appeared in both my predicted paper and the real exam:

• Compound Interest
• Standard Form
• Bounds & Error Intervals
• Box Plots
• Algebraic Fractions
• Vectors
• Functions

That worked out to 7 of the 22 questions on the paper involving topics or skills that students had already practised in the predicted paper.

I've put together some side-by-side comparisons and was genuinely pleased with how closely some of the topics matched.

For teachers and students: how many matches would you consider a successful prediction for a GCSE Maths paper?

Got this comment today from someone who stumbled across the stream last night. Made my day honestly.

Doing the exact same thing tonight for Edexcel Maths Paper 2 — full predicted paper, every question walked through step by step, live Q&A at the end. Calculator paper so I'll show exactly what to type in.

Good luck to everyone sitting it tomorrow 🙏

Hey everyone, good luck to anyone sitting GCSE Maths Paper 2 tomorrow!

I've put together a full 60-mark Grade 7–9 challenge paper based on analysing what came up on Paper 1 and cross-referencing predictions from multiple sources. All the big predicted topics are covered.

Topics covered:

• Upper & Lower Bounds
• Direct & Inverse Proportion
• Compound Interest
• Sine & Cosine Rule
• Frustum & Sphere Volume
• Algebraic Fractions
• Iteration
• Venn Diagrams & Conditional Probability
• Velocity-Time Graph
• Standard Form

It's aimed at students pushing for grades 7, 8 or 9 — the questions are deliberately harder than average to stretch you on the topics most likely to come up.

Completely free — hope it helps. Good luck tomorrow! 🍀

Physics Paper 1 is Tuesday and the weekend is your best chance to get properly prepared.

I've put together a free predicted paper covering all the big topics:

• Energy
• Electricity
• Particle Model of Matter
• Atomic Structure and Radioactivity

Download it free, attempt as many questions as you can, then join me TONIGHT at 7:00pm UK time for a live walkthrough where I go through every single question with full worked solutions and exam technique tips.

It's completely free. No sign up. Just show up.

You've still got the whole weekend — use it well 💪
