Tips
Start with a recent Paper 2, not Paper 1. Structured questions show you where your understanding really stops; a multiple-choice paper can hide a gap behind a lucky guess. Do it in one sitting, closed-book, then open the mark scheme.
Mark the practical papers yourself, question by question. Students skip these most, and the scheme is most specific here — uncertainty, graph scales, why a control matters. Reading the Paper 3 and 5 schemes teaches more than doing the paper twice.
Sort every wrong answer into three piles: I did not know the physics; I knew it but set it up wrong; I set it up right and slipped in the algebra. Each needs a different fix. Treating them all as "revise the topic" is why the same marks keep going.
