c4 not 'challenging enough'

I'm doing edexel maths atm, and I don't find the past papers (the ones i have done) challenging enough. Does anybody know where I can get harder ones?

Solomon Press publishes practice papers which are more challenging. Edexcel's International A Level Maths is also more difficult.

Why are the international papers more challenging - I thought it was the same spec?

From my experience, they're more difficult. I don't know why.

They are not intended to be and their grade boundaries are generally in keeping with the UK papers.

For the OP:
Get the Oxford book and the longman book and do the extension questions.

I thought that the extention questions in the longman book aren't relevant to the exam.

Try some Advanced Extension Award questions?

Much of it is and those parts not tested are still a good opportunity to build understanding.
IMO too much teaching is done to fit exam style questions rather than building understanding.
