The Rules

Keep the Result Honest

The mock is useful only when it reflects what the student can do independently.

Wait for the start

Do not read or attempt the paper early.

Work without help

No notes, websites, AI tools, textbooks or assistance from another person.

Respect the finish

Stop immediately when time is called, unless approved extra time applies.

Mark accurately

Apply the mark scheme carefully and record where marks were lost.

A mock is not about achieving the highest possible score. It is about discovering what you genuinely know before the real examination.
After the Mock

Mark It. Understand It. Improve It.

1. Receive

The mark scheme arrives 30 minutes after the scheduled finish.

2. Self-mark

Check each answer honestly and calculate the score.

3. Improve

Return to the topics and skills where marks were lost.

Parents & Students

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my child need a Zoom account?
No. Students join the private Zoom link through their browser without creating an account.
Should cameras and microphones be on?
No. Both remain off. Zoom provides shared timing and instructions; it is not used to monitor students.
What if my child joins late or disconnects?
They may join or reconnect and continue working, but the standard exam still ends at 4:00 PM GMT.
What if my child misses the live mock?
They can sit it independently later using a strict two-hour timer and the materials already emailed to them.
Can the paper be viewed digitally?
Yes. It may be printed or displayed on a computer or tablet once the exam begins. Answers can be written by hand on separate paper.
What if my child normally receives extra time?
They may use their usual approved allowance. At 4:00 PM, they should set a separate timer for that exact additional time.
Who marks the examination?
Students self-mark using the guidance emailed at 4:30 PM GMT. This helps them understand mistakes and plan their next revision.
Is this an official Cambridge examination?
No. It is an independent Redfern Academy practice assessment and does not contribute to an official Cambridge IGCSE grade.
Important: These are independent practice assessments, not formally invigilated Cambridge examinations. Their value depends on students following the rules and timing honestly.
