Past Physics Mock papers or past LC papers from before 2002?

iLikePiano99

So, on the topics we have covered in physics (Light, Heat, Nuclear Physics, some of mechanics - I am only in 5th year), I have done all the exam questions on these topics either studying or for homework...but now I have nothing to really test myself on since I've done the questions. Is there a place where you can get papers from the 90's or past mock papers? I know the course changed in 2002 but some of the questions would still be similar from before 2002! And really all I'm looking for is a way to practice! Any ideas? Thank you.

Go over the exam paper questions again. All the variations they can throw at you have been covered from 2002 upwards, so that's all you should be able to do really. And there's no way you remembered the answers to all the questions or whatever :P Also, go over the experiments that you have done. They account for 30% so it's worth it

Go through the syllabus and see what has never come up.
Make up some questions and test yourself.

I'm pretty sure I still have my last years mock papers...I'll have a look for them and let you know later this evening.

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it! :-)

check with teachers for past mock papers, classroom cupboards usually have a few lying forgotten under books and other papers

Do what this guy says

Make sure to double check everything against the syllabus. Almost every subject has areas that have never been asked.

The only things that can be examined are on the syllabus, not any textbook.

Actively reading the syllabus (and textbook, to a lesser extent) trying to figure out what questions *could* be asked will engage your higher order thinking skills. It's more difficult and time-consuming than simply answering questions from past-papers, but if you're in 5th year, then time is on your side.

Another good idea would be to start reading ahead. Almost everyone finds 6th year work significantly more difficult.

I have past papers back to 1996, and mocks from 2004, and having seen them, the above two ideas would be far more effective uses of your time.
