How useful is exampro? (help)

My school doesn’t offer exampro to students and I was wondering... how much of a disadvantage is this?

I can’t stop thinking about it because I feel as if every other school offers it apart from mine.

Also, how many questions/pages do you usually get for subtopics in biology and chemistry?

By how much does it differ from physics and maths tutor?

I feel stressed because I want to do all the past paper questions before the exams but not having exampro will not allow me to.

If anyone can answer the above question and/or offer some advice, it would be much appreciated !!

I actually thought it was unusual for schools to give exampro to students. It’s just a convenient way to get past paper questions from the same topic area, but they are all available elsewhere.
Wouldn’t it be more useful to do all the full exam papers? Doing individual topics at once seems less useful to me, especially near exam time.

I subtopic past papers along with my revision. I find making notes useless for a levels and I need to refine my exam technique. Do you know of any websites which offer decent past paper question banks for the sciences?

Exampro is aimed at TEACHERS not students. It enables us to select questions by topic for homeworks etc.

You are at NO disadvantage.

Thanks for the reply. I assumed it was popular amongst students as I see a lot of people talking about using it to revise etc.

Where have you seen that? Perhaps their teachers printed off worksheets? Any requests for logins are removed ...
