AQA A Level Mathematics Paper 3 2025 Mark Scheme

Get the official AQA A-Level Mathematics Paper 3 mark scheme from the June 2025 series (7357/3). This is the final v1.0 examiner-approved document used in marking and standardisation, ensuring consistent grading across all candidates.

The mark scheme provides full worked solutions, including method (M), accuracy (A), reasoning (R), explanation (E), and follow-through (FT) marks. As outlined in the guidance (*page 3*), credit is awarded for valid alternative methods, and examiners apply consistent principles developed during standardisation.

It covers all 20 questions from the paper, including both Pure and Statistics sections. For example, early questions assess algebra, logarithms, and calculus (Questions 1–12), while later questions focus on statistics topics such as binomial and normal distributions, hypothesis testing, histograms, and large data set analysis (*pages 18–29*).

The document also includes assessment objectives (*page 4*), clearly outlining AO1 (procedural fluency), AO2 (reasoning and proof), and AO3 (modelling and interpretation), helping students understand how marks are allocated across different skills.

Use this mark scheme to accurately mark your answers, understand examiner expectations, and improve exam technique. It is essential for mastering how marks are awarded in AQA Mathematics and maximising performance in the 2026 exams.

Optimised for mobile and desktop and ideal for pairing with the AQA 7357/3 June 2025 question paper for full exam practice and self-assessment.

This document is designed for A-Level Mathematics students preparing for the 2026 exam series, including Year 13 candidates, retake students aiming for A/A*, and independent learners. It is particularly valuable for those studying both Pure and Statistics components of AQA Mathematics.

It is also an essential resource for teachers, tutors, and revision providers delivering AQA 7357, enabling accurate mock marking, standardisation training, and structured feedback. Parents supporting home study can use it to understand how marks are awarded and track progress effectively.Who is this Document for?
