Today in this article we will be discussing an excellent, high quality revision resource, this being the Functional Skills Level 2 English Past Papers. Past Papers essentially are the exams that people like you have taken in the past, and are an excellent way of getting a good idea of what will be on the actual exam. While there are multiple different websites that offer these papers, we heavily recommend the Pass Functional Skills Site as they have a choice of different exam boards. Important as you will be able to find past papers that were used by the exam board you are taking your exam with. Exam boards structure their exams differently to each other, so it’s important to find the appropriate past papers for you.
By using the appropriate English Past Papers, you can get a solid idea of what taking the actual exam will be like, as well as a good idea of the subject matter in the exam. To help mimic exam conditions to get the most out of the Past Papers, you should ensure that:
- No one is in the room
- You don’t have any resources (e.g. notes, books, revision material)
- There are no other devices in the room (mobiles, ipads, ect)
- The Paper is timed
To help mimic the conditions you will be taking the exam in.
The Past Papers will also come with their own individual marking scheme, which gives you the opportunity to see exactly where you went wrong, as well as showing you where your strengths and weaknesses are. So overall the Past Papers are an excellent resource to revise from!
