We’ve received numerous inquiries about making IGCSE guess papers available on our platform. To address these inquiries for both our existing and new visitors, we’d like to share our perspective and offerings:
At our platform, all team members have undergone Cambridge training courses and have taught in Cambridge schools. Their dedication and passion have always been focused on enhancing students' performance through resources tailored for pre-board preparation. Whether it’s Checkpoints, IGCSE, or A Levels, we’ve consistently provided Practice Papers [ Commonly known as topic questions and makrk schemes] to help students succeed.
Now, as an online platform, we are excited to introduce Online Mock Exams Soon. These mocks are designed based on past exam papers across years and variants, to simulate real exam scenarios, providing you with the preparation needed to excel in your board exams and even improve your school mock scores. These are especially beneficial for students seeking to achieve higher predicted grades for admission purposes.
We want to clarify that we do not provide resources called "guess papers," and here’s why:
We understand that when you search for guess papers, you may be looking for an edge in predicting actual board exam questions. Instead, we encourage you to focus on solid preparation, and our upcoming Mock Exams will be the perfect tool for this.
We’re committed to supporting you with resources that genuinely help you prepare for your exams. While we can’t offer “guess papers,” our practice-focused approach ensures you’re equipped to tackle your exams confidently.
While we can’t predict exact questions, we can help you identify areas that are less likely to appear in your current board exams:
Previously Tested Concepts:
Questions and concepts that were tested in the most recent exams are less likely to be repeated. Cambridge has a brilliant team of examiners who craft innovative questions to test a wide range of knowledge and skills. So, while it’s a good idea to briefly review concepts from last year’s exams, you should focus more on topics that haven’t been tested recently.
Question Patterns:
Each subject follows a predictable structure. For example, in science theory papers, you’ll encounter a mix of:
If you’re feeling nervous, start by mastering the direct concept-based questions. Once you’re confident, move on to practicing application-based questions.
Solve Past Papers Intensively:
Past exam papers are your best resource. They not only improve your understanding of the question patterns but also build the application skills needed to tackle challenging questions.
Focus on Quality Notes:
Make use of well-organized, concise notes that simplify complex topics. This helps with quick revision, especially when time is limited.
Don’t Over-Stress:
Even top-performing students who score A* in school exams feel nervous before their boards. It’s completely normal. The key is consistent practice and believing in your preparation.
Cambridge won’t set questions that are impossible to solve. Some questions might require you to think creatively, but this is where your preparation and practice pay off. Take one step at a time, and focus on what you can control—practicing, revising, and staying calm.
We hope these tips make your board preparation a little smoother. Wishing you all the best in your exams—stay confident, and happy learning!
