01 · REAL PAST PAPERS
For students

Sit the actual paper, not a lookalike

The questions in my textbook are nothing like what actually comes up in the exam.

Every paper here is a real CSEC, CAPE or PEP past paper, digitised question by question and checked by a human before it goes live. Answer a question and you find out immediately whether you were right — and, more importantly, why. Try the one on the right.

CSEC Biology · Paper 1 · Question 4

Which structure in a plant cell is responsible for photosynthesis?

WHY

Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, the pigment that absorbs light energy and converts it into chemical energy as glucose. Mitochondria release energy from glucose — the reverse process — which is why they are the most common wrong answer here.

02 · EVERY QUESTION TYPE
For students

Including the ones you can’t practise anywhere else

Every free site online is multiple choice. The matching and structured questions are the ones I lose marks on.

Multiple choice, true/false, matching, short answer and full structured questions — marked the way CXC marks them, point by point against the mark scheme rather than by keyword matching. Tap the pairs on the right to see it work.

03 · DIAGRAMS AND FIGURES
For science students

The figures come with the paper

Half the Biology paper is diagrams, and every PDF I find online has them cut off or unreadable.

Diagrams, graphs and tables are extracted from the original paper at full resolution and shown alongside the question, so a figure-based question works exactly as it does on paper. Tap the figure to zoom.

04 · KNOW YOUR GRADE
For students & parents

An estimated grade, and exactly where the marks went

I know I got 62%. I have no idea whether that is a pass, or what to revise next.

Every paper is scored the way CXC scores it — mark-weighted, broken down by profile, and converted to an estimated Grade I to VI. You see which profile pulled you down and which topics to revise first. Grades are estimates: CXC keeps its real cut-offs confidential, and we will not pretend otherwise.

Yes. Each paper is a genuine CSEC, CAPE or PEP past paper, digitised question by question. Where we hold the official mark scheme, answers come from it directly rather than from AI — and each question records which of the two it came from.

It is an estimate, and we label it as one everywhere it appears. CXC does not publish its grade boundaries — they are set statistically per sitting and kept confidential — so no one outside CXC can tell you your exact grade. We apply CXC’s published six-point scale to your mark-weighted score, which is the closest honest approximation.

You can browse every paper and try the sample questions on this page without signing up. Sitting a full paper needs a free account, so we can save your answers, mark them, and keep your past attempts.

Yes. Instructors can point students at specific papers, and the Resources library holds syllabuses, worked solutions and notes to go alongside them.

Every attempt is kept with its date and grade, so you can see a subject improve over weeks rather than guessing. Retaking a paper you have already unlocked never costs anything.
