PapaCambridge is a well-known site that hosts Cambridge past papers and other resources. This guide explains what PapaCambridge offers and how Singapore students can use it alongside official sources for IGCSE and A-Level.

What is PapaCambridge?

PapaCambridge is a resource site that provides links or access to Cambridge past papers, mark schemes, and sometimes other materials (e.g. specimen papers, syllabuses). It is used by many students and teachers worldwide. Always check that the papers match your syllabus and series (e.g. correct subject code, correct exam series); syllabus codes and formats can change, so cross-check with the official Cambridge website when in doubt.

Using PapaCambridge for revision

Search for your subject and exam (e.g. IGCSE, O-Level, A-Level). Download past papers and mark schemes. Use them under timed conditions and mark your work with the mark scheme so you see what examiners want. Prefer the latest series (last 3–5 years) and your syllabus code so the format matches current exams. For a full guide to using past papers, see our IGCSE past papers article. For other IGCSE resources, see our IGCSE resources guide.

Official vs unofficial resources

Cambridge publishes past papers on its own website (Cambridge International). PapaCambridge can be a convenient extra source when you need to find papers quickly. Always confirm papers are correct and complete (e.g. same number of questions, same format as the official version). Combine with official Cambridge resources and your school materials so you have the most accurate and up-to-date papers.

Using PapaCambridge safely and effectively

When you use PapaCambridge or any non-official resource, check the syllabus code and exam series (e.g. 0580 Mathematics, June 2024) so you are practising the right paper. Download the mark scheme as well as the paper so you can mark your work properly. Prefer recent series (last 3–5 years) so the format matches current exams. For Singapore students, IGCSE past papers are a core part of revision; use PapaCambridge as one way to find them, but always cross-check with the official Cambridge site when in doubt. For guided practice with past papers and mark schemes, consider IGCSE tuition on Tutopiya so a tutor can work through questions with you.
