How to use past papers to raise your marks
Start with a recent paper and write it in the real time limit. Mark yourself honestly with the memo, then list the questions where you lost marks. Those questions point to the topics you need to revise. Practise those topics, then write an older paper to check that the marks have moved. Repeat this every week before the exam and you will see the same question styles again and again.
Questions learners ask
