I’ve learned advanced things much faster than a teacher could have taught me!
“I am really enjoying Skolatis! It is very helpful. I feel that the way you teach the subjects are very helpful and aid in helping people learn more complicated things. For example I’m a lot ahead in chemistry and biology. I’ve learned many more advanced things much faster than a teacher could have taught me it.

Hi Skolatis, can you please help me find Cambridge O Level 5087 Science Physics past papers from 2023 to 2025? Thank you!
Hi Magdalene,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
We couldn’t find 5087 listed as a Cambridge O Level syllabus code for Physics. Could you kindly please confirm if you meant 5054 (Cambridge O Level Physics) so we can provide you with the correct past papers?
Thank you once again, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s anything else we can help you with.
Hello, I had a question regarding Grade Threshold. Does Cambridge calculate the threshold from marks received by students who sat for the paper in a particular country or is it from all the marks received by all students who sat for the same paper.
E.g; If 500 students sat for Physics Paper Variant 2(P12/P22/P42) and 250 of the students are from Country A and 250 are From Country B. Is the grade threshold different for each country or is it the same for both?
Hi Harry,
Thank you for writing in.
The grade threshold is the same for all the candidates who sat for the same paper.
The thresholds are decided after each examination has been taken and marked. The aim of each year (or examination series) is to set each threshold in just the right place to ensure that it is no more difficult and no less difficult to obtain that grade than it was in the previous year.

We hope this helps.

Hello Jas,
As far as we know, CAIE will use their usual approach to grading exams wherein they use a variety of statistical and judgemental methods. These methods help CAIE maintain the awarding standard from one year to the next.
Furthermore, they are also committed to align their awarding standards to those of equivalent qualifications in England. Many of the candidates will use their grades to apply for courses in competition with people who have grades from equivalent qualifications. Aligning awarding standards ensures that the competition will be fair, without giving an unfair advantage or disadvantage to Cambridge candidates.
Should you have further concerns, it is best that you write to CAIE directly. You may reach them via their website: https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/
Thank you.
