When I done my GCSE’s past papers really helped in having a feel for what the real papers will be like, and give you an idea of how questions are styled... great video 👍

im starting to get past paper and im looking at the question in the past paper to see what topic i need to improve on .

[AddittiAgrawal]

im just never sure if im done with my revision and revising the whole book for like 4 subs (IAL) takes like weeks or maybe months. My general idea was always to get done with writing notes for each chapter, revision, reading, checkpoints etc and then do past papers but time seems so less to do this all. Maybe my strategy is wrong the whole time ☹️ Realising tht makes me feel like i wasted my all year! 😪
I have a question at the back of my head; what do u think how many past papers are needed to be done to be confident enough solving an exam (considering starting past papers near exams) i know this all depends upon the student and how much knowledge the student has but assuming all tht average, how many would be enough?

Thank you so much for this video! Past papers are SUPER useful as you get to see what the questions might be like in the real thing and using the mark scheme you can see how to word your answers in a way that will get you more marks. They are also useful for seeing what bits of a topic you are uncertain of ( like where your making mistakes) so you can go and revise that to improve. I used past papers and exam questions quite a lot at the end of last year when I had end of year tests which was so helpful and I will be using them ALL the time this year so I’m more confident with writing answers under time pressure and to get me prepared for the gcse mocks and the real things!

Another amazing video thumbs up and thank you! 😄🤗👍🏻

Hey there bro, what year is the best year to be using past papers.
Starting from Y10, or starting from Y11?

[hhazhar]

I just started grade 10, and i am super confused on which year (2017, 18, 19?) past papers should I start. People everyday tell me to start practicing past papers, and I really feel worried about that. I have not completed the whole IG course yet, but I don't understand from which past papers should I start with, any advice?

[dawnrock]

Hi, can I use past papers studying alone? How do I grade my own past papers? Do I have to give them to someone else to grade?

Hello, I am currently a year 11 student, because of some family stuff I missed out in 2 years of school, and I've studied in an American school before, it's a bit overwhelming for me right now since the igcse exam is around the corner and I'm lacking in too much for me to even answer past papers, I don't know how to even study or start, and until now almost failed every test I've had this year because of how much I'm lacking from topics in the first place, the teachers all tell me to study from past papers, but I can't do that if I don't even know the topics in it, is there anything I can do to improve?

[maselorebaone]

Hey guy so does past question papers tutorial also helpful?

[zumamazarook]
