All papers and mark schemes are © Cambridge University Press & Assessment. This page hosts no exam-board files. Unlike AQA and OCR, Cambridge does not publish past papers openly — they are released to registered centres through the School Support Hub — so 2015–2024 links go to the identical official PDFs mirrored by Physics & Maths Tutor. The 2025 syllabus changed the assessment: Papers 1 and 2 became non-calculator, where every paper on the 2015–2024 syllabus allowed a calculator. Only the official specimen set is public for the new syllabus so far; the March 2025 series onwards remains centre-restricted and will be added on release. The February/March series runs in India only and is sat as variant 2.

How to actually use past papers.
Past papers are the most powerful revision tool your child has — but most students just "do" them and tick the answers. That barely moves the needle. This is the sequence I take every student through. The full method, in detail →
Topic first, then whole papers
Early on, don't sit full papers — pull questions by topic across many years until each topic is solid. Whole papers come once the foundations hold.
Sit full papers under timing
Once topics hold, work to the clock with no notes. At GCSE, pacing and stamina cost more marks than missing knowledge does.
Mark with the official scheme
Mark it yourself against the real mark scheme. Learning where the method marks sit is how you stop losing marks on questions you could do.
Redo what you dropped
A few days later, redo every question you lost marks on from scratch. That's where the grade actually moves.
