IGCSE Math RevisionCambridge IGCSE Maths 0580 past papers
Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics (0580) specimen papers, past papers and mark schemes, each linked straight to Cambridge's own website. We never host them.
Papers are © the exam board; we link to the official copies. Details
Links only: we never host board papers. On its public 0580 page Cambridge publishes the 2025 specimen papers and the June 2024 papers (variant 1 of each paper, with mark schemes and the examiner report). Every other series is on the School Support Hub for teachers.

Questions students ask
Are 0580 past papers free?
Cambridge publishes a selection of past papers and the specimen papers free on its 0580 past papers page (opens in a new tab). The full archive is on the School Support Hub, which your school can access. Copies on other websites are not published by Cambridge.
What are the 0580 papers from 2025?
Four papers: Paper 1 Non-calculator (Core, 1 h 30 min, 80 marks), Paper 2 Non-calculator (Extended, 2 h, 100 marks), Paper 3 Calculator (Core, 1 h 30 min, 80 marks) and Paper 4 Calculator (Extended, 2 h, 100 marks). Core candidates sit Papers 1 and 3; Extended candidates sit Papers 2 and 4.
What do the variant numbers (41, 42, 43) mean?
The second digit is the variant: Cambridge sets different versions of each paper for different time zones. Paper 42 is Paper 4, variant 2. All variants follow the same syllabus and format.
Do papers from before 2025 still help?
Yes, for practice: most of the content is the same. The paper format changed in 2025 (the current papers are in the table on this page, with Papers 1 and 2 non-calculator), so an older paper can have a different length, number of marks and calculator rule: check its front cover and time it to match.
Does this site teach Cambridge 0580?
Yes, for revision. There are free Cambridge 0580 revision notes for every 0580 sub-topic, Core and Extended, with worked examples, and 0580 practice by topic area (in the table above, with the IGCSE plan and a free preview): questions written for 0580, Core and Extended, plus our Edexcel 4MA1 questions where the mathematics is the same. Classes, homework plans and Path to 9 follow Edexcel 4MA1.
Where are the 0580 grade thresholds?
Cambridge publishes them for every series on its grade threshold tables page (opens in a new tab). We link there rather than copy them.
