Edexcel Functional Skills Maths Entry Level 1, 2, 3 Past Papers

Edexcel Functional Skills Maths Entry Level papers are divided into two parts, Section A, a smaller non-calculator section, and Section B, a larger, more challenging calculator section. Students sitting the Edexcel Maths Entry Level papers require a pen, pencil, ruler, and a rubber, as well as a calculator for Section B. Additionally, for those preparing for entry level maths, understanding the specific exam format and content is crucial to achieving success. The pass mark for Edexcel Entry Level 1, 2, and 3 exams is 75%.
