Why Use A-level Philosophy Past Papers?
There are many advantages when using past papers. Without the pressure of a deadline, you can take your time going through each question to ensure you feel adequately prepared. The key benefits to using past papers includes:
- Familiarising yourself with exam structure – It is important to be aware of what kind of exam you are preparing for. Knowing the format, types of questions, and time limits can help optimise your study sessions.
- Identifying common question types – Know what questions to expect. Be confident in the knowledge that the questions you will be faced with are familiar, no nasty surprises!
- Strengthening weak areas – Brush up on aspects of Philosophy you are not too assured of.
- Improve your time management skills – Time management is key when taking an exam. Look through each question and have an estimate of how long each question will take to answer.
- Build Confidence – Above all, being confident for an upcoming exam can make a huge difference. As the adage goes, “if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” Head into your exam knowing you’ve done the most you can. Leave no stone unturned and take on your test with the utmost confidence.
