IGCSE Latin (0480) — real past-paper questions, marked by AI
Every mark in IGCSE Latin (0480) hangs on a phrase. Component 1 sets unseen translation and comprehension from the Latin, Component 2 tests the set literature — Virgil's Aeneid Book 3 and Cicero — with both close questions and extended response, and the command words ask you to translate, comprehend and comment rather than paraphrase loosely.
This hub holds 196 real 0480 questions from 12 papers set between 2023 and 2025. Virgil's Aeneid Book 3 leads the topic table with 12 questions, closely followed by Cicero with 11, and unseen translation and comprehension each carry 5. Submit your translation or literature answer and the AI examiner marks it instantly against the real Cambridge mark scheme, showing precisely which phrase or reference earned the mark and which one lost it — the difference precision-based Latin marking depends on.

Frequently asked questions
Which 0480 papers and years are covered?
Every May–June session from 2023 to 2025 across both components — 12 papers and 196 questions in total, spanning variants 12 and 13 for Component 1 and 22 and 23 for Component 2.
How does the AI marking work for Latin translation?
You type your translation or literature answer and an AI examiner checks it against the official Cambridge mark scheme, which accepts several valid renderings per phrase, so you see exactly which word or clause earned or lost the mark.
What do the two components cover in 0480?
Component 1 sets unseen translation and comprehension from the Latin, while Component 2 covers the set literature — Virgil's Aeneid Book 3 and Cicero — through close questions and extended response.
Is it really free?
Yes — every question, mark scheme and AI marking run is free, with no signup and no card details.
How should I revise Latin with past papers?
Drill unseen translation and comprehension separately from the set-text questions on Virgil and Cicero, then use the AI feedback to see exactly which phrase needs a sharper rendering.
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 study tool, not affiliated with or endorsed by Cambridge.
