Hey guys,

I just want to ask: from which year must I start doing past papers? It seems to me that 2002, 2003 are too old.

I'm taking:
Chemistry
Physics
Biology
Math
Arabic

So what year must I start from? Thanks in advance  :)

My teachers suggest from 2002 to 2009 both May/June and October/November...

TheRock:
If you're doing it in the summer session, do the summer papers. If you're doing the winter session - you get the point.

Why?


* November session is for repeating students - therefore if you do the past papers looking at the grade thresholds, you can forget an accurate skill test.
* Not only that, but the exam may have different content than that of the May session that same year. Don't expect topics covered in O/N 2009 to pop up on your exam (e.g. if you do History and the O/N paper 1 has a UN question in it, the odds are that the M/J paper 1 has the Vietnam/Cuba topic.
Oh also try limiting yourself to 2007-2009 for increased reality. (for those that do Economics this year you only have the 2009 papers at your disposal. Exam structure changed.)

I'm doing Economics this year. Even though the paper structure has changed, they're still pretty much the same though. Paper 1 is multiple choice, paper 4 and paper 2 have been combined to become paper 2, and paper 6 has turned into paper 3. So I don't really get your point with us having only 2009 papers at disposal :-\.
