Frequently asked questions
Is the examiner report enough without past papers?
No — reports summarise errors; you still need timed attempts.
Every series has a report?
Most major series publish reports for core subjects — availability varies by code.
Reports vs teacher feedback?
Use both — reports show cohort-wide patterns; teachers show your work.
