Based on the questions in Edexcel GCSE Maths Paper 1 Higher (examined Thursday 25 May), we have identified topics that have not yet been assessed and are likely to come up in Paper 2 and Paper 3.
Please note that the topics already assessed in Paper 1 could be assessed again, so use our list with that in mind when planning your revision. Do not focus all your revision time on these topics alone.
