Cambridge Lower Secondary Checkpoint Past Papers (2024)

Here are specially created answers to some of the Frequently Asked Questions with regards to the resources created by Smart Exam Resources for The Cambridge Lower Secondary Checkpoint:

1. What is meant by Stage 7 / Stage 8 and Stage 9?

Well these refer to the stages in which the checkpoint syllabus is taught to you in school. For example The Cambridge Lower Secondary Checkpoint Mentions, Stage 7 / Stage 8 and Stage 9. We are referring to these stages.

2. We are from different country, so will these resources also be helpful for our children?

Yes of course, just like the Cambridge Endorsed text books can be used globally, our resources are also for students world-wide. So it does not matter, if you are in India , or France UAE or Egypt, or fromany other country , the resources are surely applicable to your syllabus.

3. The names of the topics do not match our checkpoint text-book-topic names, so how do we know whats included in the topic names thatyou have mentioned?

a. We have developed our resources keeping in mind the syllabus prescribed for Cambridge Lower Secondary.Similar to IGCSE, Cambridge also has multiple publishers, for instance, Hodder, Cambridge University Press and Collins. Since we haveto name the topics, we decided to name them , the way Hodder has named. There was no real reason behind this choice of naming. So while this will become very easy for those following the Hodder text books, it no way means that others will find it difficult. In fact you will always find different authors using different names for topics as per their wish. This does not mean that any of the authors are doing it wrong. Also, which ever author students learn from, they eventually appear for the same exam papers for Cambridge.

4. Do the topic questions contain thousands of questions?

We would have been glad if we could include thousands, but there aren't thousands of questions available. We have given you as many as possible. There is ultimately no reason, for not providing. Its only that when you like our work, will you buy our products. You may check our IGCSE Topic Questions to know why our work is so much admired globally.

5.If you have taken questions from the IGCSE, are they as per our syllabus,also are they very tough?

The questions are from IGCSE Past papers , but appropriately mapped to the checkpoint syllabus. In fact thats how schools prepare in-house resources for additional practice. Also, we match the difficulty level and will never give something which is impossible for you to solve .So nothing is tough.

6. Do you give answers along with questions?

We provide ' easy-to-interpret-mark schemes' In fact we also mention the meaning of symbols in some places. And in case you need guidance , we are always happy to help.Though we intend to provide answers for all theory questions soon.
