EXAM PREP: Past papers practice

A great way to prepare for exams is to take yourself through a practice run. Find yourself a quiet space, get yourself a good clock or set the alarm on your watch and take yourself through a past exam paper found through the Library homepage.

And don’t forget to check out the Past Exams database through the Library website - great for practice!
