GCSE Maths - Edexcel
How often each topic appeared in exam papers from June 2017 to June 2025 (15 exam series), counted from every question in the Questions Database. A topic only counts where it's what a question tests, not where it's a step along the way (like solving an equation inside a Pythagoras question). 100% means it appeared in at least one paper in every series, NOT every paper. A series is all the papers from one sitting, e.g. June 2025 (Papers 1, 2 and 3). A group, like Probability, counts any of its topics. Click one to open it.
