past papers helped me the most because they are almost exactly the same questions asked in the paper, a lot of the time just reworded versions of previous papers so doing as many as you can is a massive help, for each unit we was given checklists for each assignment by our teachers were very helpful and I just went point by point typing in the keyword to google and looking for all the relevant information and just summarised it in my assignments, as long as you can manage your time well and start the work when it’s set rather than a few days before it’s due it should be quite easy to manage the work load and get pretty good grades

most of them are already on the pearson website, i think it’s only the last set of exams that the teachers can only access with their logins, and no worries 😊

Hi Gracedtb,

Could you give me a bit of context on what your first assignment is so I can help you out more?

This was posted two years ago so I assume she would have completed the course already now, in case they don’t respond

my teachers gave us a checklist for each unit so I followed that and also used the pearson specification which has a lot of detail for each unit for what to include but it mostly only really covers the pass and sometimes the merit, I also found the earlier you start the assignment the easier it is, even if you know it will definitely only take you say two days to do it, don’t then do it two days before it’s due, it gives you way more time to work on it, and you also have enough time to come back to it with fresh eyes and go back over it before actually handing it in, i can give some more advice or happy to send over the checklists too if needed but we may not be doing all of the same units
