Frequently asked questions
Are these real 0606 past paper questions?
No. They are original questions written to match the IGCSE Additional Mathematics 0606 syllabus and the style of real Cambridge papers, so you can practise beyond the past papers you have already done.
Do the Additional Mathematics questions have answers?
Yes. Every question on these pages has its answer, and every generated paper comes with a full Cambridge-style mark scheme you can download as a PDF.
Can I make a full IGCSE Additional Mathematics practice paper?
Yes. Choose the paper (Paper 1 Non-calculator, Paper 2 Calculator), the topics, the marks and the difficulty, and the generator builds a fresh paper with the same number and style of questions as the real exam.
