Old spec edexcel questions for applied???

I do edexcel and so far I found the old spec C1 and C2 questions good for my revision for Pure. But Im not sure with the old spec questions for applied as it looks like there is a big difference compared to the new spec.

Is it still useful to use for practicing? If so how did u use them?
I did the new spec questions but they are kinda limited. Is there any other good alternatives? Thanks

The old questions are useful if you use the mapping to check out the differences.

Mapping is here: https://qualifications.pearson.com/en/qualifications/edexcel-a-levels/mathematics-2017.coursematerials.html#%2FfilterQuery=category:Pearson-UK:Category%2FTeaching-and-learning-materials

There is also a document summarising the changes

Thanks so much😊😊😊 this is very useful😁

One quick question tho - would you recommend doing all the S1 -S2 and M1 and M2 papers starting from 2006 to 2016

Or should I start from around 2013 instead? From experience what would you recommend? Many thanks

I think 2013 is plenty early enough - leave older ones in case you have a particular topic you need to practise. Your teacher has lots of resources they can share - Edexcel put many resources on the teacher website. Have you used Dr Frost?

Revision resources are useful as well as the PPTs
