Dear Students/Teachers,

I hope you enjoy this resource and find it useful.

I have made these predicted papers using the topic lists provided by
Edexcel. These papers are mostly from past exam papers from
different exam boards. Some have been tweaked or combined.

Feel free to share these papers, but do credit me as they take a lot
of time to produce.

I would suggest using this paper as a homework or mock paper and

identifying your weaknesses from this.

Please be aware that this paper may be easier or more difficult than
a real GCSE exam. Please treat it as a revision resource rather than a
reflection of the difficulty of the real GCSE exam.
