What is in the library

For each series we hold one variant of every paper, usually variant 2 (for example 5054/22). For May/June 2024 we use variant 1, the papers Cambridge publishes on its own website. Paper codes read as paper number then variant: 5054/42 is Paper 4, variant 2. Different variants of the same paper are set to the same standard, so any of them is good practice.

How to practise with past papers

  • Start with single questions on the topics you find hardest and check each answer against the mark scheme.
  • Then sit full papers under timed conditions and mark them strictly with the mark scheme.
  • Keep a list of lost marks and redo those questions a week later.
