35 Basic C1 Questions

The following is a list of basic C1 questions that students should be able to tackle if they are prepared for the C1 AS-Level Maths exam. They have been designed to cover the techniques that will be needed in order to tackle typical C1 questions in a C1 maths exam. However, these questions do not necessarily resemble the type of C1 exam question students might be faced with, these questions should be used to practice those techniques needed. Having said that, early questions in a C1 exam may look a lot like the questions you see here.
