Practise the Extended route of Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics 0580 for exams in 2028–2030. Extended includes the Core content plus additional depth across all nine syllabus areas and is assessed through Paper 2 Non-calculator and Paper 4 Calculator, each worth 50%. Use Extended-specific questions and available mark guidance without switching to the Core route.
Extended candidates take Paper 2, a 2 hour non-calculator paper, and Paper 4, a 2 hour calculator paper. Each paper is worth 100 marks and 50% of the qualification.
Candidates entered for the Extended route are eligible for grades A* to E under the 2028–2030 syllabus.
Extended contains the Core content plus additional and deeper material across the same nine topic areas. Its assessment gives greater weighting to analysing, interpreting and communicating mathematically.
Practise Extended-tagged Paper 2 and Paper 4 questions, keeping non-calculator and calculator technique distinct, then check the full method, exact values, units and requested accuracy against the available mark guidance.
