Past papers or exam style questions are the best way to ensure you gain a clear understanding of what’s required. We will mark as many as you can complete! Always check your answers, if it isn’t marked and it’s wrong it’s a missed learning opportunity Revise key formulae Stop ignoring the things you can’t do – challenge yourself
