# 35 Basic Pure Math Questions

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