[Math] British “S-Level” Mathematics Books

book-recommendationreference-requestsoft-question

The British S-level exams (not to be confused with A-levels or O-levels) were said to be challenging exams that were used to select who got a place at the University of Oxford or Cambridge.

Is anyone aware of:

  1. The books that were used to supplement this exam
  2. Rigorous books generally used in this era in Britain (1960s and before)
  3. Books containing exam questions from these papers (or where I can find past papers) or questions at a similar difficulty.

Best Answer

The book that I mainly used (for pure maths) was

Further Mathematics by R. I. Porter (first published 1962 by Bell).

It has plenty of past 'S' level questions at the back.
