Directly confirmed against the official AQA specification-at-a-glance page: linear, not tiered, three compulsory written papers, each 2h/100marks/33⅓% (recorded as 33.34% on the third paper so the total sums to exactly 100), mixing short single-mark questions with multi-step problems. Paper 1: pure content (Proof, Algebra and functions, Coordinate geometry, Sequences and series, Trigonometry, Exponentials and logarithms, Differentiation, Integration, Numerical methods). Paper 2: Paper 1 content plus mechanics (Vectors, Quantities and units in mechanics, Kinematics, Forces and Newton's laws, Moments). Paper 3: Paper 1 content plus statistics (Statistical sampling, Data presentation and interpretation, Probability, Statistical distributions, Statistical hypothesis testing). Total 300 marks. Common DfE-set content across all exam boards. First teaching September 2017, first A-level assessment June 2019.
