Three practice papers

Topic 1 examination papers

Each paper is 25 marks and 30 minutes. Sit them in order, in exam conditions, then check the mark scheme. The numbers and contexts are different on every paper.

How to sit these

Close the notes. Time yourself for 30 minutes. Write on paper or print the script. Only then open the mark scheme. Do Paper 1 first, then leave at least a day before Paper 2 so you are not just remembering the numbers.
