2. Complete Your Paper (Exam Conditions)

To get the most accurate and useful feedback, we strongly recommend completing your paper under timed exam conditions:

• Record your start and finish time

• Work within the official exam time limit

• Ask yourself: Did you need more time?

If you continue writing after the time has finished:

• Please switch to a different colour so we can clearly see how far you got within the time limit

This helps us:

• Assess your exam technique and time management

• Provide evidence if extra time may be needed in formal exams

Also, please make a note of:

• Your total time taken to complete the paper

👉 Important: Please attempt every question, even if you are unsure. This allows us to give you the most detailed support possible and identify exactly where you need help.

3. How to Complete Your Answers

• Complete your answers electronically on a PDF version of the paper

• Do your best with graphs, calculations, and extended responses

• Treat this like a real exam — the more effort you put in, the more valuable your feedback will be

Once completed, email your paper to:

• drclaire@nationaltutors.co.uk

Please include:
