What are IGCSE Mock Exams?

IGCSE Mock Exams are timed, full-syllabus Cambridge IGCSE multiple-choice papers you sit online at Tutopiya in five subjects: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Economics and Accounting. Each paper is 40 questions, built to the real Cambridge multiple-choice component for that syllabus, and needs a Tutopiya Learning Platform plan to sit. It is marked the moment you submit, with worked solutions, an indicative grade band, a topic-by-topic breakdown and your percentile against everyone else who has sat it.

These papers sample the whole syllabus, so they suit a student who has finished it — the February/March 2027 cohort, who sit from late February. If you are sitting in May/June 2027 you are welcome to use them, but you will meet topics you have not been taught yet. A May/June edition is coming.

What is the Mock?

One full-length paper per subject. Not a quiz, not a shortened sample — the same question count and the same clock as the Cambridge component it is built to.

What a plan includes

Which Cambridge IGCSE subjects can I sit?

Five subjects, each built to the multiple-choice component of the real paper. The science papers are Extended only.

Economics 0455 and Accounting 0452 are built to the revised 2027 specification, first assessed in March 2027. No past papers exist in that format yet, so original questions are the only practice material there is.

Two minutes now, nothing to do on the day

  1. 1

    Reserve your seat

    The form on this page. It tells us which paper to have ready for you and gets you the email the moment it opens.

  2. 2

    Create your Tutopiya account

    You will need one to sit a paper. Doing it now means launch morning is one click instead of an onboarding form.

  3. 3

    Come back on 16 November

    Sign in, pick your paper and start. A Learning Platform plan is required to sit a Mock, and you will see what it costs before you begin.

Papers open in

The IGCSE Mock Exams papers open on 16 November 2026.

Reserve your seat first — that is how we know which paper to set up and how you get the email on the day.

Reserve my seat Create your account now

Creating an account is free and takes a minute. A plan is only needed when you sit a paper.

How does it work?

Five steps. The short form comes before the sign-in screen, so you are not asked for the same details twice — the form tells us which paper to set up, the account is what you sit it with.

  1. 1

    Pick a subject

    Read the format and the syllabus scope first. You choose before you create anything, so you are picking a paper rather than registering in the abstract.

  2. 2

    Tell us about you

    A short form: your name, how to reach you, your exam board, your subjects and which sitting you are entered for. It takes a minute and tells us which paper to have ready.

  3. 3

    Sign in or create your account

    On the Tutopiya learning platform, on the next screen. If you already have an account, just sign in. A Learning Platform plan is required to sit a Mock, and you see what it costs before you start.

  4. 4

    Sit the paper

    Timed, no pausing, one sitting, on any device. Every answer saves as you go, so a dropped connection does not cost you the attempt.

  5. 5

    Get your score and fix the gaps

    Marked the moment you submit: score, indicative grade band, worked solutions and a topic-by-topic breakdown. Every weak topic links straight to practice on it.

Grade bands are indicative and come from the score distribution of everyone who has sat the paper, recalculated monthly. They are not Cambridge grade boundaries. Your percentile is the share of first ranked attempts in that subject scoring lower than you. It appears once 50 students have sat the paper.

A Learning Platform plan is required to sit a Mock. There is no free paper in this section — what is free is everything on these pages: the format, the full syllabus scope and the sample questions. Tutopiya's revision tools, lesson notes and past-paper resources stay free and need no account.

Why sit a mock exam at all?

A paper tells you what you can do. Revision only tells you what you have looked at.

“I’ve revised, but I don’t know if any of it stuck.”

Re-reading tests recognition. A timed paper tests recall, and gives you a number for it.

“I always run out of time.”

Pace is a skill, and it only builds against a clock you cannot pause.

“The questions never look like the ones in my textbook.”

Exam questions are built around the mistakes students actually make. Meet them now, not in the hall.

“I don’t know what to revise next.”

A scored paper points straight at the topics costing you marks, topic by topic.

“My first real timed paper will be the one that counts.”

Nerves are mostly unfamiliarity. Spend them on a paper that does not go on your certificate.

The half of a grade that is not content knowledge

  • Reading the question properly
  • Holding a pace
  • Eliminating wrong answers
  • Letting a hard question go
  • Not second-guessing yourself
  • Checking before the clock runs out

How are these papers written?

Original questions, written to the syllabus

Every question is authored against a specific learning objective in the published Cambridge IGCSE syllabus, not lifted from a past paper you may already have worked through.

Built to the real paper's blueprint

The Mock carries the same question count, the same time limit and the same balance of recall against application as the Cambridge component it is built to.

A fresh paper every attempt

Each attempt draws new questions from the pool, so re-sitting is real practice rather than a memory test on the same forty items.

Written and checked by subject specialists

Authored and reviewed by Tutopiya teachers who teach this syllabus, and checked for coverage, wording and answer keys before anything is published.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an IGCSE mock exam cost? +

Sitting a Mock needs a Tutopiya Learning Platform plan. There is no free paper and no card-free trial sitting — the plan is required to attempt a paper at all, and it covers your score, your indicative grade band, worked solutions, the topic-by-topic breakdown, the full question-by-question report and your percentile. Reading these pages, the full syllabus scope and the sample questions costs nothing.

Is there a free IGCSE mock exam? +

Not in this section. The Mock is a plan feature, and we would rather say so here than after you have answered forty questions. If you want free practice today, Tutopiya's Past Paper Finder, revision checklists, lesson notes and past-paper exam timer are open to everyone with no account.

What exactly is a Mock? +

One 40-question multiple-choice paper per subject, drawn fresh from the question pool each attempt, built to the real Cambridge component for that syllabus and sampling the whole syllabus. It is timed, cannot be paused, and is marked the moment you submit.

Which topics does the paper cover? +

The whole syllabus. Questions are drawn from across every topic rather than a selected list, which is why these papers are written for the February/March 2027 sitting — the cohort that has finished the course.

I am sitting in May/June 2027. Should I use these? +

You can, but you will meet topics you have not been taught yet, and your score will understate where you actually stand. A May/June edition built around the content taught by that point is coming. If you are mid-course, the free revision tools are the better use of an evening until then.

Which tier are the science papers? +

Extended. There is no Core paper. Economics and Accounting have no tier.

Can I sit a paper more than once? +

Yes, as many times as you like, at no extra cost on a plan. Only your first attempt is ranked; every later attempt is marked and labelled a practice re-sit, and draws a fresh paper, so it is genuinely new practice rather than the same questions again.

Will this predict my real grade? +

No. It shows where you stand against the syllabus today. Grade bands are indicative and based on how everyone else who sat the paper scored, not on Cambridge grade boundaries.

What happens if my connection drops mid-paper? +

Every answer is saved as you give it and the attempt can be resumed. You will not lose a paper to a closed tab or a flat battery.

Can I sit these from outside Singapore? +

Yes. The papers run in your browser, there is nothing to download, and there is no scheduled slot to be awake for. Sit one whenever you are ready.

What does a Learning Platform plan include besides the mock exams? +

The plan the Mock sits behind is Tutopiya's Learning Platform subscription, not a per-paper charge: it covers the mock exams in every subject listed here, unlimited re-sits, the full reports, and the platform's wider question bank, revision notes and study plans across IGCSE, AS/A-Level and IB.

Which Cambridge IGCSE subjects and syllabus codes are covered? +

Five: Biology 0610, Chemistry 0620 and Physics 0625, all built to Paper 2 Extended, plus Economics 0455 and Accounting 0452, built to Paper 1 Multiple Choice on the revised 2027 specification.

Are these real Cambridge past papers? +

No. These are exam-style papers written by Tutopiya's subject specialists and aligned to the published Cambridge IGCSE syllabus. They are not past papers, and Tutopiya is not affiliated with or endorsed by Cambridge Assessment International Education.

How is this different from working through a past paper? +

A past paper is a fixed set of questions you can look the answers up for, and it is marked by you. These are drawn fresh from a pool each attempt, timed without a pause, marked instantly, and returned as a topic-by-topic breakdown that tells you what to revise next.

Do I need to download anything? +

No. The paper runs in your browser on a phone, tablet or laptop. You need a connection and an uninterrupted block of time — 45 minutes to an hour and a half depending on the subject, matching the real Cambridge component.

Is there a deadline to sign up? +

No. IGCSE Mock Exams is a permanent part of the Learning Platform. There is no window, no registration deadline and no closing date — set up your account and sit a paper whenever you are ready.

How is the percentile worked out? +

It is the share of first ranked attempts in that subject that scored lower than you, computed over every ranked attempt ever rather than the last month. It is shown once 50 students have sat that subject's paper.
