It details the three 1 hour 30 minute exams, each worth 80 marks, and specifies that Paper 1 is non-calculator, while Papers 2 and 3 are calculator-based. The content across the papers is mixed, with no topic list provided per paper. Essential equipment for the exams includes a pen, pencil, ruler, protractor, compass, eraser, and a scientific calculator. The document also details extra support available at school, such as a Maths Helpdesk on Tuesdays and GCSE Revision sessions on Wednesdays, categorized for Higher and Foundation tiers. For exam paper practice, recommendations include www.mathsgenie.co.uk, where students can work through timed exam papers and watch video solutions. For specific skills practice, SPARX is recommended, with guidance on selecting the appropriate level based on target grades. Exam questions can be found by topic on www.examq.co.uk, which also provides mark schemes. Further resources include www.mathsgenie.co.uk with videos and exam questions per topic, and www.corbettmaths.com, offering videos for most GCSE skills, topic lists for Higher and Foundation tiers, worksheets with questions and answers, practice papers, and a daily practice selection called '5 a day'.",{"@graph":69,"@context":116},[70,84,99],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":20,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/gcse-maths-exam-structure/206933/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"author":86,"headline":65,"publisher":89,"fileFormat":92,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":93,"datePublished":93,"encodingFormat":92,"isAccessibleForFree":94,"interactionStatistic":95},"DigitalDocument",{"name":87,"@type":88},"Berry Peter","Person",{"url":74,"name":90,"@type":91},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-09-05",true,{"@type":96,"interactionType":97,"userInteractionCount":4},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":98},"ViewAction",{"@type":100,"mainEntity":101},"FAQPage",[102,108,112],{"name":103,"@type":104,"acceptedAnswer":105},"What is the structure of the GCSE Maths exams?","Question",{"text":106,"@type":107},"The GCSE Maths exams consist of three papers, each lasting 1 hour and 30 minutes and worth 80 marks.
