When each June 2027 paper opens

Each paper opens at 00:00 UTC, 30 days before the real paper is sat, so there is a month to sit it, mark it and fix what it shows up. The dates come from Pearson's final Summer 2027 timetable; the 0580 dates follow as soon as Cambridge publishes its June 2027 timetable.

What you get

• Four full papers4MA1 Higher Paper 1H and Paper 2H, and 0580 Extended Paper 2 and Paper 4: each 2 hours and 100 marks, like the real ones.
• The real calculator rules4MA1 1H and 2H and 0580 Paper 4 with a calculator; 0580 Paper 2 without one.
• Full mark schemesMethod, accuracy and independent marks for every step, with a worked solution to every question.
• Solved more than onceEvery answer was worked by the author and solved again independently, and every paper was checked by a second solver working from the questions alone.

Included with an IGCSE plan, the free 7-day trial and school licences. The first paper of each course is a free sample: its first questions open for everyone, and a free account opens the whole paper. See plans.

How to use them

1. Sit it a month out. Each paper opens 30 days before the real one: book a 2-hour slot that week.
2. Exam conditions. Timed, in one go, with only what the exam allows: no calculator for 0580 Paper 2, and the formulae page for 4MA1.
3. Mark it with the scheme. Line by line: method marks, accuracy marks and follow-through where it applies.
4. Fix, then redo. List every lost mark by topic, practise those topics with the 4MA1 or 0580 topic questions, and redo the paper's questions a week later.

How the papers were chosen

Nobody outside Pearson and Cambridge knows what will be on the 2027 papers. Our prediction is the weighting: each paper covers the whole specification, with the marks spread across the content areas in a balance like the real papers, and it uses the question types that come up most often. These tables are counted from our papers, question by question.

On 4MA1, the two algebra areas together carry the most marks on both papers, with calculus (turning points, kinematics) and a drawn graph on Paper 1H. On 0580, Paper 2 is short, non-calculator questions across the syllabus, and Paper 4 is longer structured questions of 7 to 12 marks each. Questions and mark schemes are written by Pete Bromfield, a former Head of Maths with examining experience, and every answer is solved a second time.
