What Is Included for Additional Mathematics (0606)

• Question Papers (qp) — the papers exactly as candidates sat them, for every variant.
• Mark Schemes (ms) — the official marking criteria, so you can score your own attempt honestly. Particularly important in 0606, where method marks are awarded for working even when the final answer is wrong.
• Examiner Reports (er) — where candidates actually lost marks in that session. The most under-used file in the set.
• Grade Thresholds (gt) — the raw marks needed for each grade in that session.
• Specimen Papers — sample papers Cambridge issues when a syllabus changes.

Cambridge Exam Sessions Explained

Cambridge runs three exam sessions each year, and the filename tells you which one a paper came from:

For example, 0606_s23_qp_12 is the Additional Mathematics question paper from the summer 2023 session, paper 1, variant 2.

Past Papers File Naming System

The first four digits represent the “subject code“, the next part represents the “exam session” and year, the following word represents the “resource type“, and the last number represents the “paper number” followed by its “variant“.

How to Use These Past Papers

1. Start with the most recent papers. Syllabuses change, and older papers may cover content that is no longer examined.
2. Sit the paper under timed conditions before you open the mark scheme. Marking a paper you have already read teaches you very little.
3. Mark it yourself using the mark scheme. In Additional Mathematics especially, study how method marks are allocated — showing correct working earns marks even when the final answer is not right.
4. Read the examiner report for that session. It states exactly which questions candidates handled badly, and why.
5. Check the grade threshold for that session to turn your raw mark into a realistic grade.
6. Work across variants. Variants 1, 2 and 3 are different papers written for different regions, so they are extra practice rather than duplicates.
