At London Tutor Company, we help our students develop their maths skills in preparation for their functional skills maths exam. A key component to a productive revision plan is past paper practise. This article will help you use past papers effectively and how to use them as part of your revision plan.
Functional skills maths level 2 past papers can be found on many websites online but it is crucial that you are aware that any exams before 2019 aren’t as relevant. This is because new specifications have been added since then so the exams are missing certain content you need to know for the current course. Most exam boards offer their own individual past papers but they all use the same government curriculum so they are all fairly similar. The only difference between them is their own exam structure but they are still all a reliable source to revise from.
We advise our students only move onto their first functional skills maths level 2 past paper once they have covered each individual topic area. This is because a poor result from a mock can badly affect your confidence. It is best to complete all your mocks under exam conditions so you know what to expect and it’ll allow you to find out what you need to work on. It is important that you don’t worry too much about the pass mark to begin with and focus more on the past papers as a way to help your revision. Once you have completed a number of mocks you should start to see your mark improve as you approach your exam date.
