When it comes to A-levels (and GCSE) there is no "national curriculum", exam boards decide what they put on the specification of each subject. You can find out what exam board you do (by asking the school you decide to go to) and they may have papers with questions tailored to that exam board. But no point thinking about past papers now when you haven't learned content haha

Basically, there are a number of different resources which provide past papers (and more general study materials for A-Level Maths and A-Level further Maths), Solomon is an additional resource which provides past papers that are considered tougher than most past papers and even tougher than the real exam.

Firstly, I would like to thank for your reply

Speaking of "National Curriculum" I meant the DFE document outlining what students must learn and all exam boards must include in their spec

I'm not familiar with such a document, but I know for a fact that there are some topics covered in some exam boards, which are not covered in others.

The ones I know are aimed at Maths but are for the old specification.

Here is how to get the new ones: http://www.churchillmaths.co.uk/as-and-a-level-products

You can find the old ones on websites but the papers are technically copyright.

I typed in Solomon papers - maths into Google and the first entry was of C1 solomon papers from Phyicsandmathstutor. I don't believe the publisher has produced any papers for the new spec yet but there are tons.
