- Repeatable practice: sit timed → review → re-test weak topics for spaced reinforcement
How to use Paper B (best results)
- Sit it closed-book in one sitting (timer on). No pausing, no looking things up.
- Review immediately: write 3–5 one-line rules from your misses (your “Rules List”).
- Re-test within 72 hours to reduce repeat errors and improve speed (misses + near-misses).
Best plan (final month): practise two papers back-to-back (short break in between)
to train stamina and pacing for a two-paper day.
