O Level Statistics 4040 papers are being added to this page, so the list below may be empty for now.
Mathematics papers move from routine technique to multi-step problems, and they reward clear working as much as final answers. Use this page to find a paper by year, session and paper number, download the PDF and practise under exam conditions.
Check that 4040 is the code on your course outline and which examination years your syllabus version covers, because content and paper structure can change between syllabus versions.

How to Use Statistics Past Papers Effectively
Past papers are most useful when each one ends with a marked script and a short list of things to fix. This is a simple routine for O Level Statistics 4040.
How to identify the paper, session and variant
Cambridge papers are named from the syllabus code, the session, the type of document and the paper number. A file such as 4040_s23_qp_12 reads as: syllabus 4040, May/June 2023, question paper, paper 1 variant 2.
In Cambridge file names m means February/March, s means May/June and w means October/November, followed by the two-digit year.
The two digits after the document type are the paper number and the variant: 12 is paper 1, variant 2. Variants are different versions of the same paper set to the same standard, so use the one that matches your entry or practise several.
Attempt a paper under timed conditions
Choose a paper that matches your course, set the time allowed on the front page, and work without notes. Stopping early to look something up hides the gaps you are trying to find.
Write every step of the working, because method marks are awarded even when the final answer is wrong.
Re-attempt any question you got wrong a few days later without looking at the solution, to confirm the method has stuck.
Aim for a steady pace per mark and flag a question you are stuck on, because the later parts of other questions may be quicker.
Checking your answers
No mark schemes have been added for Statistics yet. Until they are, ask your teacher to check your work or look for the matching mark scheme on CAIE's website.
Look at where method marks and accuracy marks start and stop, and compare your layout with the accepted alternatives.
Typical slips are a sign error carried through several lines, a premature rounding, a skipped line of working and an unreadable layout.
Keep an error log and plan your revision
After each paper, write down every lost mark in a log. Record whether the mistake was a method error, an arithmetic slip, a misread question or a missing step, since each needs a different fix.
Then turn the log into a short weekly plan: choose two or three topics, revise them from your notes, and test them with fresh questions. Spread the papers you have across several weeks instead of attempting them all at once.
A good week alternates a timed paper with drills on one topic, re-working each lost question until the method feels routine.
Practise one topic until a set of questions feels routine, then return to mixed papers to practise choosing the right method.
Check that the syllabus version matches
Check that 4040 is the code on your course outline and which examination years your syllabus version covers, because content and paper structure can change between syllabus versions.
