Madasmaths questions have difficulty ratings next to them, the 4-5 star ones are all going to be a lot harder than what you get in the actual exam, 2-3 star is what i would mainly practise with if you're doing normal maths. If you do further then i would advise you do the 4-5 star ones as the further exams seem to be far more about problem solving than most of the old spec past paper questions.

So for A level Mathematics Edexcel I should practice the 1,2 and 3 star only ?

I would say yes, although doing some of the harder ones wont hurt. Make sure the questions you do are relevant to the edexcel spec, i also do edexcel and some of the questions test things that we dont need to know for the exams. @Muttley79 suggestion of drfrost is something i would look into as the questions are all from the edexcel spec and you can make question packs on specific topics and difficulty

Madasmaths is worse - and Dr Frost has selected them to be relevant.

He has lots of other resources on there: https://www.drfrostmaths.com/sow.php?year=A%20Level%202017&term=Main

Surely your teacher can share the Edexcel stuff - and, there is LOADS that is free to access on Dr Frost- look at the 2022 stuff!.

Hi, my school has subscribed to dr frost maths and I’ve seen a lot of posts where you recommend it.
I really like madas maths because he has workings out next to the question incase you’re stuck. Does dfm have this?
I feel like dfm is more quiz based and (because my school set hmw on dfm) I haven’t really found it appealing?
I’m not sure maybe I’ve only seen one side of dfm
