4037 is Cambridge O Level Additional Mathematics. This page explains what the code covers, which papers it is examined by, and which topics carry the most marks — counted from 692 real past-paper questions set between 2019 and 2026.
4037 is the Cambridge syllabus code for O Level Additional Mathematics.
ExamYard publishes a question book for this syllabus, covering the following:
Every topic in the 4037 banks, with how many questions and marks each has carried since 2019. The heaviest topics are where revision time pays back fastest.
| Topic | Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Functions | 30 | 255 |
| Quadratic Functions | 33 | 156 |
| Factors of Polynomials | 31 | 217 |
| Equations, Inequalities and Graphs | 59 | 295 |
| Simultaneous Equations | 12 | 58 |
| Logarithmic and Exponential Functions | 40 | 251 |
| Straight-Line Graphs | 42 | 323 |
| Coordinate Geometry of the Circle | 8 | 54 |
| Circular Measure | 25 | 203 |
| Trigonometry | 74 | 465 |
| Permutations and Combinations | 38 | 250 |
| Series | 68 | 541 |
| Vectors in Two Dimensions | 36 | 288 |
| Differentiation | 44 | 319 |
| Applications of Differentiation | 57 | 397 |
| Integration | 68 | 503 |
| Kinematics | 27 | 224 |
Heaviest topic: Series, 541 marks across 68 questions.
Across every 4037 paper in these banks, the three heaviest topics are Series (541 marks), Integration (503 marks) and Trigonometry (465 marks). The first of those alone is about 11% of every mark on offer. The lightest is Coordinate Geometry of the Circle at 54 marks.
That matters because revising by whole past paper spreads your time evenly over topics the examiner does not weight evenly. Working topic by topic lets you spend the most time where the most marks are, and it shows you the handful of question shapes each topic actually uses rather than meeting one of them every few weeks.
Past papers are easiest to use when the questions are already sorted by topic, so you can finish one topic before starting the next instead of meeting it once every few papers. ExamYard prints the real Cambridge questions for O Level Additional Mathematics 4037 arranged that way, with the mark scheme kept separate from the question. Chapter 1 of every book is free to read, with no account and no email address.

The questions in these banks come from papers set between 2019 and 2026. Nothing older is included, because Cambridge changes syllabuses and older questions can test content that is no longer examined.
