What to focus on

  • - Treat early-paper algebra as free marks and avoid spending too long on one stubborn question.
  • - Use Paper 2 review to improve logical equivalence, implication, and counterexample selection.
  • - Measure progress using recent full mocks rather than topic drills alone.

FAQ

Should I focus on Paper 2 more than Paper 1?

Only after Paper 1 errors are stable. Paper 2 is high leverage, but avoid neglecting easy Paper 1 losses.

What is the best review method?

Write down why the correct option is forced and why your chosen option looked tempting.

What to do next

Confirm your target course requirements, run a timed TMUA mock, then review mistakes before planning the next paper.
