IGCSE Spanish - First Language (0502) — real past-paper questions, marked by AI
IGCSE Spanish – First Language (0502) is one of the larger syllabuses on the hub, and its two components split cleanly: Component 1 is reading comprehension, checking explicit meaning in the text, while Component 2 is composition, setting descriptive and narrative writing tasks that demand range and control rather than a simple retelling.
This hub holds 303 real 0502 questions from 26 papers set between 2023 and 2025. Descriptive and narrative composition each carry 2 questions under several phrasings, and reading comprehension of explicit meanings appears across both the May–June and October–November sessions. Write your composition in Spanish and the AI examiner marks it instantly against the real Cambridge mark scheme, scoring reading answers point by point and giving writing tasks direct feedback on task fulfilment, accuracy and range.
With 26 papers to draw on, sweep one writing genre across several years, or sit a full timed paper — it is free, with no signup needed.
