How to Use Past Papers
While just taking the past papers is a good start. You can get a lot more out of them if you follow a set of guidelines while doing the papers. To get the full experience you will need to take the papers in exam conditions. By mimicking these conditions you will get a feel of what taking the exam will be like. As well as prevents the temptation of cheating. Giving you a better idea of your knowledge level.
By doing this you will gain a better understanding of your strengths and weaknesses of the different subjects that will be covered in the exam. Helping to visualize which subjects you need to spend the rest of your time revising.
Each paper will also come with its own marking scheme (no one will mark it for you!). While at first glance this may seem annoying and a waste of time. It however provides a unique opportunity to see exactly where you are going wrong for each question. So you have an easier time of seeing exactly where you are struggling. It shows you how you failed a question, as well as how it should have been answered.
PLEASE NOTE!
When using the papers for the first time, you can become easily discouraged if you failed the paper. The past papers will be just as hard as the exam itself so will require a high level of knowledge in order to receive a passing grade on them. By judging your overall knowledge right at the beginning of your revision, you may affect your confidence and feel discouraged. Many tend to not use the papers until they have a good amount of revision time under their belt for this reason.
