Here at the London Tutor Company we have many resources and study materials that students can use covering English, Science and maths. We know and understand how crucial it is that in preparation for exams students can revise as best as they can. A resource that has become very popular recently is the A level maths past papers. These are a perfect tool for students who are revising and are looking to be as ready as they can be for final exams. Schools these days like to use past papers for homework and such but we think that they should only be used at the end of the school year to give learners the best chance when revising.
To use the A level maths past papers effectively, students should try their best to avoid using them before they really need to. They are perfect for finding out what topics a learner is strong in and what they may be struggling to understand. The process would be that they sit a paper that they have not seen before, work through it as best as they can, and then get it marked at the end using the official mark scheme or model solutions online. It must be sat in exam-like conditions so that they can also be prepared for what it may feel like to be in an actual exam situation. Once it has been marked, it gives the learner the opportunity to go back and analyse the problems they got wrong. It then allows them to see what they should be focusing on when they study. After taking many more exams in the same exam-like conditions, improvement should start to be noticed. There should be less mistakes occurring and real progress being made to make them feel as confident and ready as they possibly can be.
These past papers are certainly a great way to revise and study as they provide a good challenge for students. There are many other resources that can be used as well. For information on this and more, please contact us today.
