Why this exists

Revision sites make you work for the questions.

Building a mock paper takes an evening.

  • Download a PDF to read one question. Then another, to check the mark scheme.
  • Topical packs behind a subscription — and behind /app, where no search engine can reach them.
  • Questions somebody rewrote, so you never quite sit the real thing.
  • Marking that waits until the end, or an AI guessing at your answer.
  • Hunting through PDFs for questions on the one topic the class failed.
  • Retyping or screenshotting them into a document that never looks right.
  • Writing the mark scheme yourself, question by question.
  • Paying per class set, or per teacher, for the privilege.

What we did instead

Every Cambridge past-paper question is a tagged, addressable unit.

The real question as an image, its mark scheme, its official syllabus subtopic, its difficulty and its marks — on one row. Four things read that row: a downloadable paper, on-screen practice, a page Google can index, and your weakness report.

61,064 papers, tagged at question level. That tagging is the whole moat.

How it works

Open it. Answer it. Know why.

Filter it. Assemble it. Share it.

  1. Land on a topic. No menus, no setup — the questions are already there, and you can read every one without an account.
  2. Tap an answer. Marked against the verified key before you have moved your thumb, with the topic that caught you out.
  3. Keep the flame lit. Miss a day in exam week and a two-minute quiz saves it. No guilt-trips.
  4. Filter. Subject, topics, years, difficulty mix, and a mark target — results change on the page as you go.
  5. Assemble. We paginate so a question is never split, and generate the mark scheme to match your exact selection.
  6. Share. A link your students open with no account at all. Free and unlimited. Printing is the only metered thing.

After it is built

What you can do with the paper.

Building is unlimited and free. Sharing it with your class is too — printing is the only thing that is metered.

Pick every question, or let it build for you

Choose from every Cambridge past question by topic, year and difficulty — or say how long you want it and let it assemble one.

The mark scheme writes itself

It comes attached to the paper, matching the exact questions you chose. You never write one again.

Your school’s name and logo on the front

Upload it once. Every paper carries your cover, your exam title and your duration.

Share with your class — free, unlimited

Send one link. Your students open it on any phone. No logins for them, no limit on how many you send.

Print when you need to

Three printable downloads free, more by inviting a colleague, or $30 a year for thirty a month.

Every paper is kept

Sign up and your papers are saved. Next term you reuse last year’s mock instead of rebuilding it.

Works on your phone

Build a paper on the bus. The whole thing works on a small screen, not just the reading part.

Students sit it online, marked instantly coming soon

For multiple choice: your class answers on screen, gets marked immediately, and you get a report per student and per question.

What it costs

Free to read. Always.

Reading is never paid for. The paywall is on unlimited practice and downloads, and nothing you can see today moves behind it later. One price worldwide — no regional tiers.

Before you start

The questions everybody asks.

Are these the real Cambridge papers?

Yes. Every question is a crop of the original PDF — never retyped, never paraphrased, never generated. The mark scheme is Cambridge's own, linked by reference ID.

Is it actually free, or free until it isn't?

Reading is free permanently — every paper, every mark scheme, every topical bank, no account. Payment only ever applies to downloading and unlimited practice. Nothing you can see today moves behind an account later.

Do I need an account?

Not to read, and not to practice 10 questions a day. An account lifts the limit and turns on explanations. That's the whole trade.

Who is behind it?

A small team, building in the open. Pastlit went live on 8 September 2026; every number on this page is a live count from the database, not a claim. There are no testimonials yet because we would rather quote real students than invent them — when there are words worth quoting, they go here.

What's the catch for teachers?

None. Building and sharing are unlimited and free; only printable downloads are metered. Teachers are free because a teacher who shares a paper brings a class with them — that is the business model, stated plainly.
