Cambridge IGCSE 0607: code, exam-year and route guide

0607 is the code for Cambridge IGCSE International Mathematics. It is a different qualification from Mathematics 0580, with its own syllabus and its own entry code.

This page states only the stable facts and tells you where to check the rest. The linked Cambridge subject page is the official source for anything that changes by exam year.

What does the code tell you?

The code identifies the qualification. It does not identify the exam year. Cambridge publishes syllabus documents that cover a run of exam years, so you need both the code and the year to know which document applies.

For 0607, open the Cambridge subject page and look at which syllabus documents are listed. We do not reproduce the year range here, because it is the kind of detail that changes and is read more reliably from the source.

How is 0607 treated on this site?

The site keeps Mathematics 0580 and International Mathematics 0607 apart wherever the syllabus, investigations, modelling, calculator expectations or assessment differ. Shared skills, such as solving equations or working with percentages, are explained once and reused.

Three topic areas are specific to the International Mathematics route on this site:

Before using any of them, confirm against the syllabus for your exam year that they apply to your entry.

How do I confirm my route in five steps?

  1. Ask your school or exam centre for your entry code and exam year.
  2. Open the Cambridge 0607 subject page and find the syllabus listed for that year.
  3. Note the document name and year at the start of your revision file.
  4. Record what you checked in the syllabus navigator, including anything unresolved.
  5. Compare versions with the syllabus version viewer if you have older notes.

What should I ask my exam centre?

Only your centre can answer questions about entry. Ask:

  • Which exam series am I entered for?
  • What are the entry and registration deadlines?
  • Which calculator rules apply to my papers?
  • Are there access arrangements I should apply for, and by when?

Short example of sorting material

A student entered for 0607 finds a revision video on “IGCSE Maths” covering percentage change and another on an open mathematical investigation. The percentage video teaches a shared skill, so it stays in the plan. The investigation video is a task style that the student checks against the 0607 syllabus before spending time on it, then learns through the investigations topic if it applies.

The same student also has a worksheet marked 0580. It goes into the “check route” list until confirmed.

What do we not state here?

We do not list paper numbers, durations, weightings or grade thresholds for 0607. The Cambridge subject page and the syllabus document are the source for these. If you need exact details, read them there and confirm with your centre.

Where to go next

Read the 0580 code guide to see the two codes side by side, and use the route comparison page to structure your checks. The Mathematics learning guide shows the whole topic map.

When the code is confirmed, online one-to-one Mathematics tuition can follow your own route from the first lesson.

Questions people ask

What is 0607?

0607 is the Cambridge entry code for Cambridge IGCSE International Mathematics. It is a separate qualification from Mathematics 0580 and Additional Mathematics 0606. Quote the four-digit code whenever you look up a syllabus, past paper or textbook.

How is 0607 different from 0580?

They have separate codes and separate syllabuses. Investigations, modelling, calculator expectations and assessment are the areas to compare. Read the current 0607 syllabus on the Cambridge subject page rather than relying on a summary from any other website, including ours.

Can I revise 0580 material for 0607?

Shared skills such as algebra, number and geometry transfer well. Anything about task style, calculator use or assessment should be checked against the 0607 syllabus first. Keep a list of items marked check route until you have confirmed them.

Who confirms which one I am entered for?

Your school or exam centre. We are not an exam centre. Ask them for the exact code, the exam year and the series, and keep their answer in writing.
