What this practice covers
These questions are drawn from past Cambridge IGCSE papers and filtered to money and banking. You answer, you find out immediately whether you were right, and you get the reasoning for the correct option and for each distractor. Wrong answers go to a mistakes locker so you can come back to exactly those.
Practice is free. You need an account only so your progress and your mistakes are still there next time.

What examiners see students get wrong here
These are the errors that cost marks on money and banking, taken from our own topic notes. Read them before you practise and you will recognise the traps in the questions.
- Giving only two or three functions of money when four are expected.
- Confusing the characteristics of money (durable, portable) with its functions (medium of exchange).
- Confusing central banks with commercial banks.
- Saying banks make money "from fees", the main source is the interest difference.
- Forgetting that inflation undermines money's role as a store of value.
