Practise under real exam conditions
Time yourself. Sit it in silence. The mocks will feel familiar— and familiar feels calm.
Learn the exact question style
Examiners repeat patterns. The more real papers you sit, the faster you'll spot what's coming.
G
Find your weak topics early
Every mark you drop here is a mark you can fix before it counts on results day.

No pausing to check notes. Treat every question like it's results day.

1 Little and often beats last-minute
20 focused minutes a day adds up to more than one panicked all-nighter.
2 Test yourself, don't just re-read
Past papers, flashcards, blurting — anything that makes you retrieve, not recognise.
3 Chase your weakest topic first
4 Explain it out loud
U G
It's tempting to revise what you're already good at. Don't. Go where the marks are missing.

If you can teach a topic to someone else in plain English, you actually know it.

, General Marking Guidance
• All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the first
candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the last.
• Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be rewarded for
what they have shown they can do rather than penalised for omissions.
• Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme not according to their
perception of where the grade boundaries may lie.
• There is no ceiling on achievement. All marks on the mark scheme should be
used appropriately.
• All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded. Examiners
should always award full marks if deserved, i.e. if the answer matches the mark
scheme. Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks if the
candidate’s response is not worthy of credit according to the mark scheme.
• Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the principles
by which marks will be awarded and exemplification may be limited.
• When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark scheme to
a candidate’s response, the team leader must be consulted.
• Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate has replaced it
with an alternative response.
