Solving past papers is the single most recommended piece of exam advice — and also the most commonly done wrong. Just working through questions without a system rarely translates into a better score.
Start Topical, Not Yearly
Before attempting a full yearly paper, O Level past paper solving works best broken down by topic. It isolates exactly which concepts need more work, rather than mixing everything together in one sitting.
Time Yourself, Then Review Properly
Once a topic feels solid, move to timed yearly papers to build exam stamina. The review afterward matters more than the attempt itself — go through every lost mark and understand exactly why it was lost.
