Resources are very important in the revision process for students. Here at the Tutor Company, we provide support covering all the core subjects such as English, Science and maths. While there are many different kinds of materials that can be used, today we will be talking about the A level maths past papers. This tool is very useful, especially when used properly and effectively. We want to make sure that learners are using their past papers well and that they are not wasting them as they can prove to be critical to a student passing their exams. Many schools often use past papers as a basis for homework and this is the incorrect way to use them or you could say it is the least effective way.
We encourage students to try their best to avoid A level maths past papers until the exam days come around. This is so they have something to use in their revision and study time to really test themselves. It is important for learners to know what topics they are weak in and where they need to focus on while preparing for the exams. We want students to go through the past paper without knowing any of the questions and for them to work through it as best as they can. Once they have finished they can have it marked to see how well they have done. One thing to keep in mind is that learners need to have a heavy focus on the mistakes made to highlight what they need to improve on. Then it becomes a matter of repetition and taking more past papers, in strict exam-like conditions, to be as ready as they can be and to know what to expect. The more past papers they complete, the more improvement that should be evident with less and less mistakes as a result.
There are many different resources that can be used but the A level maths past papers are certainly one of the popular options. If you have any questions in regards to this or if you are wanting more information on the other services we offer, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
