Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics 0580 Paper 4 Extended Sample 2023
This paper is designed to mirror the challenge and breadth of the real Paper 4 Extended exams—testing whether you can move fluently from pure geometry to applied calculations under time pressure. You'll face a mix of coordinate geometry, mensuration, trigonometry, and algebraic problem-solving across 15 questions, mostly multiple choice with a few fill-in-the-blank items to keep you sharp. It's built for Year 11 students preparing for the IGCSE extended tier, where marks often hinge on spotting the right formula and avoiding calculation slips. Work through this paper and you'll gain the muscle memory to spot whether a problem wants Pythagoras, trigonometry, or coordinate methods—and finish with at least 5 extra marks you weren't expecting.
