Ways to Use Design Past Papers
A useful approach is to complete a paper under timed conditions before checking your answers. This helps you practise working through questions efficiently and gives you a clearer picture of your current level of understanding.
After completing the paper, use the memorandum to review your responses. Take note of recurring concepts and questions that were challenging, then return to your notes or prescribed resources for further study.
