IGCSE Chinese - Foreign Language (0547) — real past-paper questions, marked by AI
IGCSE Chinese – Foreign Language (0547) tests reading and writing across three components, and picture and word matching feature heavily in the way questions are framed. Component 1 sets shorter reading tasks with a strong visual-comprehension element, Component 2 asks for longer comprehension answers, and Component 4 adds extended writing. The recurring instructions are match, identify and describe, and the mark scheme is unforgiving about the exact character or phrase it wants.
This hub holds 484 real 0547 questions from 21 papers set between 2023 and 2025. Picture and word matching in reading comprehension leads the topic table, with visual comprehension close behind, and everyday-life topics like leisure activities and daily routine also recur often. Type your answer and the AI examiner marks it instantly against the real Cambridge mark scheme, showing you which point of meaning you got across and which one didn't land.
Work through the matching and comprehension formats topic by topic before you sit a full paper against the clock — the hub is free, with no signup needed.

Frequently asked questions
Which 0547 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 484 questions in total.
How does the AI marking work for Chinese reading and writing answers?
You type your response and the AI examiner checks it against the official Cambridge mark scheme for that exact question, matching the same points a human marker would credit.
Does the hub include Chinese listening or speaking practice?
No — the hub's value is the transcribed written and reading questions from real papers; it does not provide listening audio or speaking practice.
Is it really free?
Yes — every 0547 question, mark scheme and AI marking run is free, with no signup and no card details.
What do the different components mean in 0547?
Components 1, 2 and 4 are each set in several variants — different versions of the same paper sat in different time zones in the same session.
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.
