Cambridge IGCSE Additional Mathematics 0606 topical past papers
Cambridge IGCSE Additional Mathematics (0606) is an extension course for students who are confident in IGCSE-level mathematics, usually taken alongside or after Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics by those planning to study AS & A Level Mathematics. It introduces material normally met early in A Level: functions and their inverses, quadratics and polynomials, logarithms and exponentials, straight-line graphs and the circle, circular measure, trigonometric identities and equations, permutations and combinations, the binomial expansion and progressions, vectors, and differentiation and integration with applications to kinematics.

Revising Additional Mathematics 0606 by topic
There is no tiering: every candidate takes both papers, each of which may test any part of the syllabus through structured and unstructured questions. Paper 1 is taken without a calculator and Paper 2 requires a scientific calculator, and the two carry equal weight. Candidates must show all necessary working, and a list of formulas is provided. The current syllabus covers examinations from 2025 to 2027; it made Paper 1 a non-calculator paper, added coordinate geometry of the circle, and moved indices and surds to assumed knowledge.
- Momentum marks its Matrices and Sets chapters as excluded: they come from older syllabuses and are not in the current content, so leave them out of your practice and your mock papers.
- Older Paper 1 questions were set when calculators were allowed in both papers. Many still work by hand, but when you prepare for the non-calculator paper, skip those that need a calculator for logarithms or trigonometric values, and keep practising exact values and surd manipulation.
- Coordinate geometry of the circle is new to the current syllabus, so older papers do not examine it directly. Practise it beside the Coordinate geometry chapter, which uses the same skills of gradients, midpoints, perpendicular lines and intersections.
- Calculus questions often chain several skills, such as differentiating a product or quotient, finding a stationary point and applying the result to a rate of change or a kinematics problem. Practise the Differentiation, Integration and Kinematics chapters together once each is secure on its own.
- Linear law questions turn a curved relationship, such as an exponential or a power law, into a straight line by taking logarithms, so they combine two chapters at once. Practise them after logarithms are secure, and check in the mark scheme how the gradient and intercept give the unknown constants.
Practising in Momentum
- Every question in a chapter as one list, from every paper and year in the bank, newest first or shuffled.
- Each question turns over to its own part of the mark scheme, where the board published one.
- Narrow by paper, year, session, zone and marks, and star the questions worth keeping.
- Pick chapters, a number of questions and a time, and the exam builder draws a mock to sit and mark.
Past-paper questions and mark schemes are the copyright of Cambridge International. Momentum shows them to signed-in learners for revision and does not publish them on these pages.
