OCR A Level Further Maths past papers

OCR A Level Further Maths past papers for Further Mathematics A are filed under Y codes. The qualification code is H245. There is no paper called H245/01. Every paper is 75 marks, 1 hour 30 minutes, and 25% of the A Level.

You need both pure cores and any two options. OCR also allows extra options, and then uses the combination that gives the best grade. That rule changes how you prioritise if you were entered for three options: the weakest paper can drop out of the award.

The compulsory pure content includes proof, complex numbers, matrices, further vectors, further algebra, series, hyperbolic functions, further calculus, polar coordinates and differential equations. Y540 and Y541 are the papers every H245 candidate sits, so they are the first pair to mark.
