Use pastpapers like this to help you revise
Understand exam format and structure
Past papers show the types of questions, mark allocations, and time limits,
helping students know what to expect in the real exam.
Identify frequently tested topics
By reviewing several past papers, students can spot patterns and common
themes that appear regularly.
Practice time management
Completing past papers under timed conditions helps students learn how
to pace themselves during the exam.
Improve exam technique
Students learn how to interpret command words (e.g. explain, compare,
evaluate) and structure answers effectively.
Assess strengths and weaknesses
Marking answers using mark schemes highlights areas that need more
revision.
Build confidence
Familiarity with exam-style questions reduces anxiety and increases
confidence going into the exam.
Improve accuracy and clarity
Repeated practice helps students write clearer, more precise answers and
avoid common mistakes.
Track progress over time
Comparing results from different past papers shows improvement and
helps students adjust revision strategies.

1 According to Newton’s third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces on each other.
(a) A person pushes on a wall with a force of 100 N.
The diagram shows two forces that form an interaction pair between the person and the wall.
Force of wall Force of person
pushing on person pushing on wall = 100 N
Which statements about this pair of forces are true and which are false?
Tick (✓) one box in each row.
True False
Both forces are acting on the person.
The forces are the same kind of force.
The forces are opposite in direction.
The force of the wall on the person equals 100 N.
[3]
(b) Which of these forces is a contact force?
Tick (✓) one box.
Electrostatic
Friction
Gravitational
Magnetic
