Math help

Hello, I am wondering if there's a way to find mark schemes of papers using the little code below the paper as I have a paper to do for homework but I don't know which paper it is so I can find the mark scheme, but there is a code below the paper 'S56281A' it would be great if you could help thanks.

At the risk of stating the obvious, you'd probably get more out of simply doing the paper for homework as your teacher has asked, learning how to validate your anwers, finding where you have problems and what resources you can use (your other post) to improve your understanding.
Use mark schemes when you're closer to the final exams when you're fine tuning your answers?

Amongst many others.

The people on here will give pointers with questions if you show you've had a try at a question. Or show your working and ask for any comments. Its the best way to learn, thinking about what you understand and how it can be applied to answering a question (and how do you validate it), and if necessary, asking for a pointer.
