IGCSE Mathematics scoring & marking scheme
Strategy: IGCSE Mathematics has no negative marking. Attempt every question — blank answers cost you potential marks but cannot pull your score down.
Scale: IGCSE (A*-G scaled).
How IGCSE Mathematics is conducted
Mode
Standard — practice without proctoring on Wrexa Edge, or enable optional webcam proctoring to simulate test-day conditions.
Test format
Linear / fixed-form — every candidate sees the same number of questions per section.
Backtracking
Allowed — you can revisit and change answers within a section.
Mark for review
Available — flag tough questions and return to them before submitting the section.
Tools available during the IGCSE Mathematics exam
Wrexa Edge renders these tools inside the mock test exactly as they appear on the real IGCSE Mathematics exam — same shortcuts, same behaviour.
IGCSE Mathematics time strategy
With 80 questions in 240 minutes, you have about 180 seconds per question on average. Successful candidates aim for the following pacing on each section:
Paper 2 — Short Questions (70 marks)
Target ~154 sec/question. If a question takes more than 231 seconds, mark for review and move on.
Paper 4 — Structured Questions (130 marks)
Target ~200 sec/question. If a question takes more than 300 seconds, mark for review and move on.
Wrexa Edge's analytics show your actual time-per-question after every mock so you can spot which sections you're losing time on.
