Welcome to Paper-Guides
Built by students, for students. Paper-Guides provides free exam preparation resources for CAIE A Levels, Kathmandu University, and beyond. We believe learning resources should never be gatekept or sold at inflated prices. Genuine access. No paywalls. No commission-based pricing. Just knowledge shared freely.
Our Mission
We're committed to providing quality resources without paywalls. Every student deserves access to past papers, study notes, and practice materials regardless of their financial background. Our platform eliminates the barriers schools and publishers create with expensive question banks and referral commissions. Knowledge is a right, not a commodity.
Open Source
Our codebase is fully open source on GitHub. The platform itself is transparent and auditable. However, our resource library (past papers, notes, and study materials) is curated and freely available to browse and download through the platform. If you need specific resources not yet available, email us and we'll work on adding them. This approach lets us maintain quality while keeping everything accessible.
Community
Paper-Guides exists because students decided to help other students. No corporate interests, no institutional backing with strings attached. Just peers sharing notes, papers, and insights. Our community grows because people genuinely care about making education accessible. Join Discord to connect with contributors, ask questions, and be part of something that actually benefits learners.

Study Notes Repository
Access detailed study notes compiled by experienced students. Notes cover concept explanations, worked examples, and exam tips. Every note is free, searchable, and organized by subject and topic. No paywalls. No premium tiers. All notes are openly shared so everyone benefits from the effort invested by contributors.
Why Paper-Guides is Different
Many institutions and publishers charge hefty fees for question banks and past papers, often incorporating hidden commission structures that inflate prices. Paper-Guides operates on the principle that educational resources should be freely available. We don't profit from student desperation during exam season. We don't partner with schools for referral commissions. We're built entirely by students who understand the financial pressures of education and believe learning materials must be accessible to everyone, regardless of economic background.
Request Missing Resources
Can't find past papers for a specific subject or programme? Email us at [email protected] and we'll prioritize adding them. Our community constantly works on expanding the collection, and user requests directly shape what gets added next. The more requests we get for a resource, the faster we work to include it.
By using Paper-Guides, you're supporting a model of education that prioritizes access over profit. When you contribute resources, you're directly helping hundreds of students prepare better for their exams. Our community proves that free, crowdsourced education can work at scale. Help us grow by sharing resources, inviting friends, and engaging with the community on Discord.
