About these World Literature papers
This is every Cambridge IGCSE World Literature (0408) question paper on file: 120 papers from 27 sittings, 2013 to 2026. Every one has its mark scheme beside it. The newest sitting here is May/June 2026.
World Literature is examined in May/June and Oct/Nov. It is made up of Paper 2 and Paper 3.
A paper’s two-digit number is its paper and its variant: 42 is Paper 4, variant 2. Variants 1, 2 and 3 are the same paper set for different time zones, so any of them is fair practice.
