Past papers

[paigek3]

It is truly crunch time now and that means past papers are flyyyyying out of the printer

I know many subjects had syllabus reforms around 2010 so there aren't always many of them to do, so I'm including trial papers and other papers in this tooo...

I was wondering how many past papers/other papers people are doing, in a fortnight, week, day? I swear I saw once ages ago Jamon said he would sometime do three past papers in a day?! If you are doing multiple in a day, HOW DO YOU HAVE THE MOTIVATION!? I get through hardly one and I'm pooped

So yeah, how often is everyone doing past papers?

Haha its pretty hard for me because I've done all the french ones, all the art ones which are relevant, almost all the english ones. I guess it depends what subjects you enjoy! For french for example I could probably do 3 past papers in one day just on it if there were ones i hadnt done because I actually enjoy doing them, especially listening! but for other subjects eg. english, where its more repetitive particularly with the modules where essay questions for A and C are similar its hard to see the point sometimes! i'd just recommend making sure the past papers you do suit your weaknesses and challenge you for instance in art i was constantly getting papers with questions about issues in the world or challenging audiences/boundaries for the essays and so they were easy for me, so to challenge myself i purposely began picking questions i wouldnt usually and it was actually so much more interesting! just my thoughts though also i dont print off any of my past papers haha i just use them online

I was indeed doing three a day in the last few weeks of study and then into exams where possible - I had huge breaks in between. Maths paper from 9:00-12:00, rested for 2 hours. 2:00-5:00 another one, rested for two hours. 7:00-10:00 another one, then had the rest of the night off. Rinse/repeat - I think establishing the routine is the hardest thing!
