Doing exam questions

Doing Past paper questions (PPQ) may be one of the best forms of revision so here are some tips to make sure that you use them to you advantage.
1) If your anything like me, you may feel as though you can't do any PPQs as I don't know enough of the content to do so. If you are worried about this, after you have done the placemats and you feel as though you know enough of knowledge, do the questions within the next 2 weeks. This gives you enough time to revise other subjects and isn't long enough for you to forget enough of the content that you can't do the PPQs
2) If you have a large pack of questions, you don't need to do every single question in full. Instead briefly jot down the key point you will mention in your question and compare this to the mark scheme. These types of answers will likely be more similar to the way the mark schemes are formatted and so will help you in the long run to keep you full answers concise and effective.
3) As the full exam papers that you have access to are limited (depending what year you are doing your exams), I would suggest you leave them closer to when your exams are ( a month or 2) and use them to time yourself so you can practise you time management.
