0625_s26_qp_512026 May-June Physics 0625 Question Paper 5 Variant 1

This is the official Cambridge IGCSE Physics (0625) Question Paper 5 (Variant 1) from the 2026 May-June examination session. This question paper was sat by Cambridge students worldwide in 2026 and is published by Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE). Use it for timed practice under exam conditions to build familiarity with the question format, mark allocation, and time pressure.

To self-assess your performance, use this question paper alongside the corresponding mark scheme (0625_s26_ms_51). Attempt the entire paper under timed conditions before opening the mark scheme — this trains both your subject knowledge and exam technique. Mark each question and record whether marks were lost due to knowledge gaps, method errors, or careless mistakes.

The most effective way to use this Physics question paper is to simulate real exam conditions: set a timer for the full duration, work without notes, and write your answers on separate paper. After finishing, mark yourself using the official mark scheme — do not check answers during the paper. This builds exam stamina and reveals your genuine readiness. Repeat this process across 3–5 sessions to identify recurring weak topics in Physics (0625).

Plotting blobs instead of crosses on graphs, forcing line through origin

Candidates should use neat crosses for the plots, or neatly circled dots so that the accuracy of the plotting can be assessed.Paper 5, May/June 2023

How to fix: Plot with × crosses (not dots or blobs). Line of best fit: must have points balanced above and below — do NOT force through the origin unless data supports it, and do NOT just connect first to last point. Use scales of 1, 2, or 5 per grid square — never 3, 7, or 9.
