END OF LIVE LESSONS! You are free to prepare for the exam as you please. However, we recommend continuing with term 5. The key to success is past papers. Level 9 students sometimes do over 10! It's quality not just quantity though. Try a past paper like a worksheet untimed using revision sheets. Fill in gaps as you go. Repeat until you are timed.
