How does the AI marking work for Italian writing tasks?
You write your answer in Italian and an AI examiner checks it against the official Cambridge mark scheme, giving reading questions point-by-point precision and writing tasks feedback on task fulfilment, accuracy and range.
Does the hub include listening or speaking practice?
No — the hub's value is the transcribed written and reading questions and their mark schemes; it does not provide listening audio or speaking practice.

How should I revise Italian with past papers?
Work through reading and writing by topic — music, education, travel — then move to full timed papers and use the AI feedback to raise accuracy and range.
Are these official Cambridge papers?
