Well not a lot of them require revision. But mostly past papers, and my teacher made up a few, which may be harder for self study. For the sorting algorithm ones I guess you could always use a random number generator

You need to pick two options papers (though some choose to take more than two, I wouldn’t recommend doing so).

I for one would pick the two options you would enjoy the most based on the content in the specification - difficulty is subjective.

I did Edexcel and took three: FP1, FS1 and FM1. Whilst I found FP1 and FM1 the most interesting, I did best on FP1 and FS1 in my actual exams, so those were the two electives that counted towards my grade.
