What this practice covers
These questions are drawn from past Cambridge IGCSE papers and filtered to inflation. 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 inflation, taken from our own topic notes. Read them before you practise and you will recognise the traps in the questions.
- Confusing disinflation with deflation.
- Saying inflation means prices are "high" rather than rising.
- Explaining demand-pull inflation without mentioning capacity.
- Presenting inflation as purely bad, borrowers gain, and low positive inflation is the aim.
- Treating deflation as good news.
- Recommending interest-rate rises for cost-push inflation without qualification.
