Edexcel IGCSE English revision follows Pearson 4EA1 (or the code your centre enters) — not Cambridge 0500 past papers. Skills overlap (reading and writing), but question styles and mark schemes are board-specific.

Hub: IGCSE English revision · Edexcel past papers · modular English.

Start here

1. Download the current 4EA1 specification from Pearson.

Weekly plan (Edexcel)

Session	Focus
1	Reading comprehension timed
2	Transactional / directed writing
3	Creative or imaginative writing (per spec)
4	Mark scheme review

Cambridge-specific drills still help skills but not wording — use 0500 Paper 1 only if your teacher cross-trains.
