Quick Revision Tips
- Add each exam to your calendar now and work backward to schedule past-paper practice.
- Paper 1 & 2 stack closely—train stamina with timed double-paper mock sessions.
- If you relocate to another exam zone, re-check start times (Zones A7–A12 vary).
- Use the May 2026 “same-day” Paper 1+2 schedule as a stress-test for exam-day planning.
Plan early, practise smart, and good luck securing that 7!
