use it as a mock

  1. 1. Get the paper. Open it on www.aqa.org.uk, print it or work it in your exercise book, and set a timer for 105 minutes.
  2. 2. Mark it honestly. Open the mark scheme afterwards, not during. Write the marks per part in the margin and add them up.
  3. 3. Sort the lost marks. Not by topic, by what you did on the page: a rearrangement done in your head, an “explain” answered with the conclusion only, a graph described without numbers. The habit that fixes a bucket fixes it in every topic.
