This is the Paper Builder, not the worksheet. Your browser is printing the page around the worksheet rather than the worksheet itself. Close this dialog and use the Print button in the viewer’s own toolbar, which prints the worksheet and nothing else.

Using the Paper Builder

Six steps from an empty page to a worksheet on the printer.

  1. Find the questions. Open a topic in the left column and tick a sub-topic, or narrow by difficulty, year, paper or school. The chips stack, so Standard + 2025 + Paper 2 shows only that. Typing a word in the search box finds it anywhere in a question.
  2. Add them to the worksheet. Tick the box beside a question, or — faster — use the Warm-up, Core and Stretch buttons under each sub-topic to drop that many random questions of that level straight in. Those three are the old Foundational, Standard and Challenging under names that say what the question is for in a lesson; the printed worksheet still uses the formal names. The number on the right of each button is how many are still unused, and Quick add at the top sets how many go in per click. Add all matching takes everything currently filtered.
    Your selection stays put while you change filters, and survives closing the tab.
  3. Check the balance. The panel on the right shows questions, marks and how long the set should take a pupil, with a coloured bar for the foundational / standard / challenging mix. Trim or add until it fits your lesson.
  4. Preview it. The Preview worksheet tab lays out the real pages — the same sheets the printer and the PDF get, down to the ruled lines and the page breaks. There is only one layout, so nothing can look different once it prints. To trim a set, use the × beside any question in the worksheet tray on the right.
  5. Set the options. Theory and key facts puts the science for the sub-topics you chose at the front. Question answering techniques adds the wording, the method and the common mistakes as a second section. The two are independent — print either, both or neither, and turn both off for a timed set. Answer key adds worked solutions at the back. Writing space sets how much room each question gets. Paper is A4 or US Letter. A title is optional.
  6. Generate the PDF. The worksheet opens full screen as its own pages. The toolbar offers Save PDF and Print — whichever of them this browser will actually honour; a control that cannot work here is not shown rather than left to fail. Saving traces the pages you are looking at, so the file is what you saw. Note that your browser's own Ctrl+P prints the Builder, not the worksheet, because the Builder runs inside a frame; the Print button is the one that prints the worksheet.
    You get a cover with a name and marks strip, whichever concept sections you switched on, the questions, then the answer key.
