What are the solomon papers?

Hi,

What exactly are the solomon papers, and are they produced by the exam board? Is it good practice doing these?

Thanks

My preparation for AS exams consisted of doing many many practice papers,including the solomon ones, they are just practice papers produced by some company (not sure that its the exam board) which are a very similar format to the exams themselves. IN my opinion they are very useful, they allow you to get up to speed on the questions, time yourself etc etc etc, there are loads of other companies that do past papers too, for C1 I found more than 20 papers.... if you look on the forum u'll find the links. Anyways solomon papers - yes in my opinion it is good practice to do these.

I agree with what Franks said, in my opinion the Solomon papers are actually better practice then past papers. They have more varied questions and are often harder which is great experience. The ones I did for c1 and c2 were exactly the same format then the real exam.

I can actually say that every question that came up in the 2005 June C1 C2 exam, was covered in the solomon papers.
