I examine for CIE and have created these mock exam papers in line with their mark schemes. These are designed for the FIRST YEAR of the course, so include one 90 minute paper for January and one for June which is 2 hours - the idea is to build the students' skills in analysing text and writing about technical elements and acting. They are word files which are editable as they refer to practical projects the students complete. Both have detailed mark schemes and there are exemplar answers I have written for each question. I use these mark schemes to teach the students about the style required by the board in the written paper. Can be used in conjunction with my IGCSE Revision Guide.
