Built to Cambridge Paper 2 (Extended). Timed, no pause, one sitting. Your first
attempt is the ranked one; every re-sit draws a fresh paper.
A Learning Platform plan is required to sit a Mock.
Free to read: the format, all 24 syllabus topics and the sample questions below.
What topics does the IGCSE Physics mock exam cover?
All of them. Questions are sampled from the entire Cambridge IGCSE Physics 0625 syllabus — 6 sections and 24 topics — rather than a selected list. Every topic below can appear.
1. Motion, forces and energy
- Physical quantities and measurement techniques
- Motion
- Mass and weight
- Density
- Forces
- Momentum
- Energy, work and power
- Pressure
2. Thermal physics
- Kinetic particle model of matter
- Thermal properties and temperature
- Transfer of thermal energy
3. Waves
- General properties of waves
- Light
- Electromagnetic spectrum
- Sound
4. Electricity and magnetism
- Simple phenomena of magnetism
- Electrical quantities
- Electric circuits
- Electrical safety
- Electromagnetic effects
5. Nuclear physics
- The nuclear model of the atom
- Radioactivity
6. Space physics
- The Earth and the Solar System
- Stars and the Universe
Topic names follow the published Cambridge IGCSE Physics 0625 syllabus.
What you get when you submit
Your score
Out of 40, the moment you submit, with no waiting for marking.
An indicative grade band
Based on how everyone else who sat this paper scored. Not a Cambridge grade boundary.
A topic-by-topic breakdown
Which of the 24 Physics topics cost you marks, so you know what to revise next.
Worked solutions
Shown on submit for every question, so you can see where the reasoning went wrong.
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.
What do the questions look like?
3 sample Physics questions, in the format you will meet them on the paper. Pick an answer to see the worked solution — the same way the real paper shows them the moment you submit.
- 1 1. Motion, forces and energy
A car accelerates uniformly from rest to 20 m/s in 8.0 s. What is its acceleration?
Answer B. a = (v − u) / t = (20 − 0) / 8.0 = 2.5 m/s². The 0.40 option is the calculation done upside down (t ÷ v), and 160 is v × t, which gives you something with the wrong units entirely — checking units catches both. - 2 1. Motion, forces and energy
A 2.0 kg mass is lifted 3.0 m vertically at constant speed. Taking g = 10 N/kg, what is the gain in gravitational potential energy?
Answer C. ΔE = mgΔh = 2.0 × 10 × 3.0 = 60 J. The 6.0 J option drops the g, which is the most common slip under time pressure; 600 J comes from using g = 100. - 3 4. Electricity and magnetism
Two 6.0 Ω resistors are connected in parallel. What is the combined resistance?
Answer A. For two equal resistors in parallel the combined resistance is half of one of them: 1/R = 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6, so R = 3.0 Ω. The 12 Ω option is the series answer. A useful check: resistance in parallel is always smaller than the smallest individual resistor, so any answer above 6.0 Ω must be wrong.
Every question is original and written against a specific objective in the Cambridge IGCSE Physics 0625 syllabus. They are not past-paper questions.

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.
Frequently asked questions
What does the IGCSE Physics mock exam cover? +
The whole Cambridge IGCSE Physics 0625 syllabus — all 6 sections and 24 topics, listed in full on this page. Questions are drawn from across the syllabus rather than a selected list, which is why these papers are written for the February/March 2027 sitting.
How long is the Physics paper? +
40 questions in 45 minutes, matching Cambridge Paper 2 (Extended). It is timed, cannot be paused, and is sat in one go.
Is the Physics paper Core or Extended? +
Extended. There is no Core paper — the questions are written to the Extended content of the 0625 syllabus and built to Paper 2 (Extended).
How much does the IGCSE Physics mock exam cost? +
Sitting it needs a Tutopiya Learning Platform plan — there is no free Physics paper in this section, and we would rather say so here than after you have answered 40 questions. The plan covers unlimited re-sits, worked solutions, your indicative grade band, the topic-by-topic breakdown, the full question-by-question report and your percentile. Everything on this page — the format, all 24 syllabus topics and the sample questions — is free to read with no account.
Are these real Cambridge Physics past papers? +
No. They are original exam-style questions written by Tutopiya's subject specialists against the published Cambridge IGCSE Physics 0625 syllabus. They are not past papers, and Tutopiya is not affiliated with or endorsed by Cambridge Assessment International Education.
I am sitting Physics in May/June 2027. Can I use this? +
You can, but these papers sample the whole syllabus, so you will meet topics you have not been taught yet and your score will understate where you stand. A May/June edition is coming. In the meantime the sample questions on this page show the question style for nothing.
