IGCSE Physics (0625) — real past-paper questions, marked by AI
Physics marking is unforgiving about units and working: quote a number without its unit and the mark is gone, however correct the value. IGCSE Physics (0625) runs Core Papers 1 and 3 alongside Extended Papers 2 and 4, with Paper 5 the practical test and Paper 6 the alternative to practical for candidates sitting it that way. Calculate, determine and describe are the workhorse command words, and each expects a different shape of answer.
This hub holds 3,116 real 0625 questions from 90 papers set between 2023 and 2025. The electromagnetic spectrum and atomic structure share the topic lead with 14 questions each, with motion, energy resources and density close behind — a clear map of where papers return most often. Type your working and final answer, and the AI examiner marks it instantly against the real Cambridge scheme, crediting the correct method and unit even when the last line of arithmetic slips.
Sweep density or motion questions across every paper in the range, or sit a full variant against the clock. It is free, with no signup and no card needed.

Frequently asked questions
Which 0625 papers and years are covered?
Every May–June and October–November session from 2023 to 2025 — 90 papers spanning Papers 1 to 6 and every variant.
How does the AI marking work for physics answers?
You type your working and answer, and an AI examiner checks each step against the real Cambridge mark scheme for that question, crediting method and the correct unit the way a human marker would.
What do Papers 1 to 6 mean in 0625?
Papers 1 and 2 are multiple choice at Core and Extended tier, Papers 3 and 4 are theory papers at each tier, Paper 5 is the practical test, and Paper 6 is the alternative to practical.
Is 0625 the same as 0972 Physics?
0972 covers the same content and exam style as 0625 — the difference is the grading scale it is reported on, not the questions themselves.
Is it really free?
Yes — every question, mark scheme and AI marking run is free, with no signup and no card details.
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.
