What to focus on

  • - Use full year papers to build a reliable baseline before changing any revision plan.
  • - Track Paper 2 mistakes separately because they often drive volatility in the final score range.
  • - Keep one recent-year paper untouched for final calibration near the application window.

FAQ

What should I practice first?

Start with one full timed mock so you can see whether algebra speed or Paper 2 judgement is the bigger issue.

How many mocks are enough?

Enough to establish a trend. Consistent review quality matters more than just accumulating paper count.

What to do next

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