Edexcel IGCSE Science (Single Award) Past Papers [PDFs]

The Pearson Edexcel IGCSE in Science (Single Award) is a comprehensive qualification designed to provide students with a broad understanding of science. It follows a linear structure, requiring students to take three written examinations at the end of the course. The first teaching for this specification began in September 2017, with the first examination taking place in June 2019. The qualification covers key topics from biology, chemistry, and physics, offering a solid foundation for those interested in further study or employment in science-related fields.

This qualification is part of a suite of International GCSEs offered by Pearson and is not accredited or regulated by any UK regulatory body. It is structured to include three externally assessed papers, each worth 33.3% of the total grade. The content is engaging and up-to-date, providing students with opportunities to develop practical skills through suggested practical investigations, which are assessed through written examinations. The qualification aims to enable students to apply scientific principles to different contexts, evaluate scientific information, and develop analytical and problem-solving skills. While it does not lead directly to further Level 3 science qualifications, it supports progression to Level 1/2 study or employment opportunities.
