IGCSE Arabic - Foreign Language (0544) — real past-paper questions, marked by AI
IGCSE Arabic – Foreign Language (0544) spreads its written practice across three components, and the reading questions vary in shape from letter to email to multiple matching. Component 1 sets shorter reading tasks, Component 2 moves into longer comprehension answered in Arabic, and Component 4 adds extended writing. You will meet instructions to answer in Arabic, match information and choose from options, and the mark scheme rewards accurate detail over a general gist.
This hub holds 525 real 0544 questions from 21 papers set between 2023 and 2025. The reading comprehension task that asks you to answer a letter in Arabic is the most-examined pattern on the page, with email comprehension and a topic on describing teachers in school life close behind. Type your answer and the AI examiner marks it instantly against the real Cambridge mark scheme, showing precisely which detail from the text earned the mark and which one you need to tighten.
Work through one reading format at a time, then time yourself on a full variant — it is free, with no signup needed.

Frequently asked questions
Which 0544 papers, variants and years are covered?
May–June sessions from 2023 to 2025 across Components 1, 2 and 4, including variants 11–13, 21–23 and 41–43 — 21 papers and 525 questions in total.
How does the AI marking work for Arabic reading and writing answers?
You type your answer to a comprehension or writing question and the AI examiner checks it against the official Cambridge mark scheme for that exact question, point by point, in the same way a human marker would.
Does the hub include Arabic listening or speaking practice?
No — the hub's focus is the transcribed written and reading questions from real papers; it does not offer listening audio or speaking practice.
Is it really free?
Yes — every 0544 question, mark scheme and AI marking run is free, with no signup and no card details.
What do the different components mean in 0544?
Component 1, 2 and 4 papers are each set in several variants — different versions of the same paper sat in different time zones in the same session — so the numbers you see reflect timing, not difficulty.
Are these official Cambridge papers?
The questions are transcribed from real Cambridge papers and marked against the real mark schemes, which remain © Cambridge International; Cambridge Papers is an independent, free study tool, not affiliated with or endorsed by Cambridge.
