History 0470 Past Papers by Year
How 0470 Paper Numbers Work
Cambridge references every exam as 0470/paper-variant — so 0470/22 is Paper 2, Variant 2 of History. Variants 1, 2 and 3 are set for different time zones at equivalent difficulty, which means each session usually gives you two or three full papers to practise per paper number.
Series shorthand: m = February/March, s = May/June, w = October/November — a file named 0470_s23_qp_22 is the May/June 2023 Paper 2 Variant 2 question paper.
