How to revise with past papers — UK exam board method

Reading mark schemes is not revising. Timed papers plus error logs are.

Seven moves. Paper, timer, fix.

  1. Correct board and tier. AQA, Edexcel, OCR — download the right ones.
  2. Full timed conditions. Same minutes. No notes. Phone away.
  3. Mark harshly. Official scheme. No I-meant-that.
  4. Error log. Topic + mistake type. This is the syllabus of your gaps.
  5. Re-teach the gap. Textbook or video for that topic only. Then re-test.
  6. Spaced repeat. Same paper style two weeks later. Compare scores.
  7. Admin the downloads. Pair this with the Revision Timetable so subjects get booked hours.
