What each paper asks
H640/01
Pure Mathematics and Mechanics. Section A carries 20 to 25 marks of shorter questions and Section B the rest; 41 to 47 of the 100 marks are for mechanics, and a mechanics question may appear in either section.
H640/02
Pure Mathematics and Statistics. Section A carries 20 to 25 marks and Section B the rest; 50 to 60 of the 100 marks are for statistics, some of them on the pre-release data set.
H640/03
Pure Mathematics and Comprehension. Section A is 60 marks on the pure mathematics content. Section B is 15 marks on a previously unseen comprehension passage, based on the pure mathematics content rather than on mechanics or statistics.
Calculators
No general calculator statement was located in the specification version checked. Confirm permitted equipment in the current specification and JCQ instructions.
What you are given
Learners will be given formulae in each assessment on pages 2 and 3 of the question paper.
Which series exist
Eight series, read from OCR’s assessment page for Mathematics B (MEI) H630/H640 on 31 August 2026: June 2018 · June 2019 · November 2020 · November 2021 · June 2022 · June 2023 · June 2024 · June 2025.
No summer series was sat in 2020 and 2021. The summer exams were cancelled and grades were awarded without them. The November 2020 and November 2021 papers were sat by students who chose to take them, so those years only seem to be missing from the list above.
This page is about the exam. For the content, statement by statement, and where we teach each statement, see the OCR H640 specification map.
