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.
09/03/2026 Walk through paper 1 (T5L6)
16/03/2026 Walkthrough paper 1 and 2 (T2L7)
23/03/2026 Walkthrough paper 1 and 2 (T2L8)
30/03/2026 Walkthrough paper 1 and 2 (T2L9)
06/04/2026 PAPER 1 MOCK SUBMITTED
13/04/2026 Revise as you wish
20/04/2026 PAPER 2 MOCK SUBMITTED
