• Welcome to Past Paper Focus!

      Practice that adapts to you. Track your progress, identify your knowledge gaps, and always know which quiz to do next. 

      We currently offer one course (see below) and will be adding more levels and exam boards over time.

      How it works

      Clear structure. Real exam style. Actionable feedback.

      • Sequenced quizzes that mirror real exam styles.
      • Auto-marking & instant feedback. 
      • A simple report so you can identify your three most urgent learning gaps. Share this with your teachers or tutors.
      • Cycle-based revision: finish all the quizzes, then restart to focus on questions you previously got wrong or only partially correct - over and over until you master as many as possible.

    • Frequently Asked Questions

      How long do I need to do this course to benefit from it?
      About 4-6 months. There are around 1500 questions to work through in cycle 1. Every time you start a cycle, you only see the questions you have not answered correctly yet, so every cycle becomes shorter than the previous one.

      Do I have to follow the order?
      Yes. Each course provides a guided sequence to keep coverage balanced.

      Can I restart a sequence?
      Yes. After finishing a full sequence, restart to focus on questions you previously missed or partially answered. You cannot work backwards through the cycle.

      Will this guarantee a grade increase?
      No guarantees. Every learner is different. We ensure full coverage first, while you target your gaps. The more you engage, the more you train your brain to be able to answer exam questions.

      Is my data safe?
      UK-hosted, GDPR-aligned. Student accounts protected; no intrusive ads.

      Will this still work if specifications change?
      Yes. Our content is modular. We can remap topics, adjust paper structures/timings, and add stepping-stone pathways without losing your progress or class data.

      What do I do if a question is misbehaving not updating?
      Please sign out and back in again.  

      I'm having trouble seeing the small detail on some questions clearly while in dark mode.
      Please turn light mode on temporarily. This is an issue that we are working on.

      What courses are available now?
      Currently: Edexcel GCSE Foundation Maths (details below). Edexcel GCSE Higher Maths will be ready in January. More exam board courses will be developed during 20206.
