Getting the most from it
A small set used well beats a large set skimmed. Three habits make the difference.
For short-answer questions, jot your points first. The gap between what you meant to write and what you actually wrote is where the learning is.
A correct answer for the wrong reason will not survive a differently worded question. The explanations are written to show the reasoning, not just the answer.
Switch between Paper I, IIA and IIB sets to practise the kind of thinking each paper rewards, rather than mixing everything together every time.
The exam guide explains how Paper I, IIA and IIB are organised, what each one tests and where marks are usually lost.
