Test Yourself First

Remember how uncomfortable you felt under stressful, time-ticking exam conditions? Adapt to think fast and write faster by doing our mock exam papers, and you may alleviate some of the stress

Recognize Questions

Laziness is a universal habit. Many test papers have repeated questions from past years, and by doing past year exam papers, you will know the answers when the same questions appear again!

Practice Makes Perfect

Exam papers are great sources of questions to practice your understanding, with the question difficulties ranging from easy to hard

Know Marking Schemes

Most test papers include an official marking scheme, which you can scrutinize to memorize the answer keywords, and not miss out on any points, especially for open-ended

Be in Demand with Our Professional Training

Always begin with the “easiest” test papers, and strive for completion and perfection. At this stage, you should work on strengthening your fundamentals, and ace “memorisation and regurgitation” questions. Do not be afraid to refer to the answer sheets if you are unsure on how to craft the perfect answers.

Once you are comfortable with answering these questions, slowly inch towards doing mock test papers under exam conditions. When doing mock papers, you are training your mind to think under pressure, and your hand in writing within the short duration. Upon completion, mark your scripts strictly and take note of careless mistakes.

Upon completion, mark your scripts strictly and take note of careless mistakes.

Reviewing your completed test papers can be as simple as briefly reading through your mistakes, and understanding how you made those mistakes. By analyzing your mistakes, you can learn how you fell for these “mistake traps”, and avoid making similar mistakes in the future.

Your unfamiliarity with a certain topic can also be amplified during your review process, especially if you continue to make similar mistakes across multiple test papers. Get a friend or teacher to revisit these topics and work on your answers, but when neither available, tutors may be your best alternative.

Tutors are available to aid your learning by marking and reviewing your papers, and thereafter correct your understanding and answering techniques. With their expertise and experiences, some tutors may even provide you with exam tricks they developed for their past exams

“Developed my Time Management Skills”

I strongly believe “AIAP” system will help to develop our Time Management Skills that is useful for facing an examination confidently, because facing an examination is a time-box event.

For many students, answering exams completely is quite difficult because we may find ourselves slumped in one tricky question and use a lot of time in it. As a result, we miss a lot of points since we were unable to answer the questions that we can score marks easily.

Since past exam papers are the actual tests used by previous students, we can use them as a basis on how we should spend time on each section of the exam and get a feel on how the test will go.

“Helped me to identify my weak areas”

Doing past examination papers helped me to identify my weak areas. Hence I put more hours in to studying the areas I was weak at. This saved a lot of time since I have to focused only the gaps.

It is important that the analytical report helped me to plan my schedule of study within short period and gained confidence in facing the exam. Because, this detailed report showed me weak areas in the curriculum. I took more lessons on those weak areas from my teachers and academics.

“It gave me Self confidence, that drove me to achieve higher grades”

As I look into past exam papers, I was able to determine the areas which I should focus more to earn high marks. Practicing past papers while analyzing the relevant marking schemes gave a clear understanding on how the answers are graded. Once the focus is clearly adjusted, there is no doubt that we can ace the exam without any hesitation. Revising subject matter with past exam papers in my own, gave me Self confidence, that drove me to achieve higher grades.

“Practicing past papers is more productive and time saving”

During my school time I was lucky enough to manage both studies as well as sports even during my A/L studies I played for school cricket and national level athletic events. Those activities did not hinder my studies as well as able to gain high marks during school term tests. Behind my success to get in to Medical College in my first attempt (after 27 years in school history) was my ability to practice for exams by doing past papers and focusing on my weak points. I am glad I did this spending more time which lead me to my success. I wish this system was available during that time which is more productive and time saving.

“Practice makes you perfect”

I have seen students who practicing past exam papers are able to succeed in examinations more than the students who practice in regular methods. I also ask my students to answer past papers whenever I complete teaching a module.

It is not uncommon for many students to lose their focus during exams, especially if they feel as if they have not prepared enough

When they include past exam papers in their reviewers, students will be able to use the papers to see how the exams would look like and condense their review sessions to the areas they need to focus on.

As a result, they will be able to prepare better and be confident that they won’t fall in the pitfalls of the real exams.

“How key topics and questions will be asked”

Past exam papers can be instrumental in helping you get a feel on how key topics and questions will be asked in the real exams.

If you use the past exam papers as a mock exam, you will be able to determine which areas you are strong with, areas which you need help with, and areas which you know nothing at all. With the help of the past exam papers, you can turn your revision to focus on these weak areas

You can make your own exam-style questions, but there is a possibility that it is worded in such a way you can easily answer it. Exam-style questions can be very tricky and depending on the subject, you will need to be careful on the phrases used. Past exam papers can help you remember these quirks and identify them immediately during the exam.
