About Cambridge Checkpoint
- Cambridge Checkpoint tests are set by Cambridge International for students at the end of Lower Secondary, usually around age 14, after Stage 9.
- Students sit tests in English, Mathematics and Science, and some schools also enter English as a Second Language.
- Results come with a feedback report showing strengths and weaknesses by topic, and many schools use them to guide IGCSE subject choices.
- Schools offering the Cambridge Lower Secondary programme are found in Nigeria, Ghana, the Gulf, Pakistan, Kenya and many other countries.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Checkpoint Science test cover?
It covers the Cambridge Lower Secondary Science curriculum up to Stage 9. Your child's school can tell you which papers they will sit.
How much does a Checkpoint Science tutor cost?
Each tutor sets their own price, shown on their profile before you book. Your first lesson is free.
When should my child start?
Ideally in Stage 8 or early in Stage 9, so there is time to close gaps before the test. A few months of weekly lessons can still make a clear difference.
Will this help with IGCSE?
Yes. Checkpoint Science covers the skills IGCSE Science builds on, so the same lessons prepare your child for both.
