How to use a practice exam

Sit it in one go on the two-hour clock: about 1.2 minutes a mark, so 2.4 minutes for a 2-mark question.
Leave about 29 minutes for the 6 Section B questions, under 5 minutes each.
Afterwards, open every question you dropped marks on and read the explanation, then practise that topic.

How it is marked

Each Section A question earns its marks only when the whole answer is right, so a multiple-response question needs every right option ticked. Each part of a Section B question earns the marks shown beside it.

Before the full paper

If you are not ready for two hours, start with the free diagnostic: one question on every topic, then the topic to fix first.
