Edexcel International A-Level · Maths & Further Maths

IAL maths practice that marks your handwritten working

Practise WMA11, WMA12, WMA13 and WFM01 past-paper questions topic by topic. Photograph your working and Sigma shows you where you went wrong, checked against the mark scheme, with a hint to fix it yourself.

Question. Solve 5x = 40, giving your answer to 3 significant figures.
Your working
log 5x = log 40
x log 5 = log 40
x = log 40 / log 5
x = 2.29
Correct

Well done. Taking logs of both sides and bringing the power down is exactly the right method, and x = 2.29 is correct to 3 significant figures. Your working is clear and easy to follow.

How it works

Work on paper, the way you will in the exam. Sigma does the marking.

Pick a topic

Choose a unit and a topic, such as differentiation, the binomial expansion or matrices, and get real past-paper questions on just that.

Photograph your working

Answer on paper and take a photo. Sigma reads handwritten maths, so there is nothing to type.

See where marks were lost

Feedback points to the first line that went wrong and gives you a hint, not the answer, so you can correct it and try again.

Built for the way you revise

Doing past papers is only useful if you find out why you lost the marks.

Handwritten input

Write the way you will in the exam. Sigma reads your photo, including fractions, powers, surds and matrices.

Slips and method errors told apart

An arithmetic slip and a wrong method need different fixes. Your feedback says which one it was.

A skill-by-skill markbook

Every attempt updates your level in each skill, weighted towards your recent work, so you can see what is improving and what to practise next.
