Every exam so far

The commission has never published its question booklets, so older papers survive only in pieces. We searched archived copies of its websites, news reports, coaching sites and solution videos. No written exam before 2015 could be traced.

About the answers

2025 answers match the commission’s official key. 2026 has no key yet, so every answer was worked out by hand and each unsure one was solved again, blind. Letters match the printed booklet. 7 questions across both papers look faulty and are marked “Likely bonus marks”.

The exam

100 questions in 2 hours: 30 general, then 70 maths. 2 marks each, 200 in all, and no negative marking.
