From trigonometry to calculus and vectors to geometry, few students take A-level mathematics thinking it's going to be an easy subject.
But for Daily Mail readers who know their sequences from their logarithms, they might enjoy a look at these past paper questions to see how they fare.
Entries for A-level maths exceeded 100,000 last summer - the first time the milestone was reached, as the subject remained the most popular choice.
Access to university courses, the subject's worth in the job market and higher earnings potential were all cited as reasons for its growing popularity.
Boys were almost twice as likely to take the subject than girls and there was an 11 per cent rise in entries in 2024 compared to 2023, according to exam data.
