How we predicted it

We analysed 15 M8 papers from Summer 2022 to Summer 2026, the CCEA Unit M8 specification and the Chief Examiner’s reports. The papers include the topics that appear almost every series: probability without replacement and dependent tree diagrams, surds, fractional and negative indices, inverse proportion, similar shapes (area and volume), circle equations and tangents, exponential graphs, 3D trigonometry, the sine rule with bearings, and a final ½ab sin C and cosine rule question. They target the A and A* skills the examiners say separate the top grades.

Every answer has been independently checked, and every question is matched to the CCEA specification.

This is an independent practice paper written by A-List Tutoring. It is not an official CCEA paper. A predicted paper cannot guarantee which questions will appear in the real exam, so use it alongside full revision.
