a level revision past papers

hi you know when you do past papers should you do it once per year because if you do it twice you will know what the answers are it defeats the purpose of challenging you
I mean (subject-dependent of course) there are a lot of past papers, so doing them twice in a year shouldn’t mean that you remember all the answers-that’s a lot of content! That’s also a lot of time if you’re able to practice all available papers twice over in a year!

You want to do the same past papers weekly?

don’t start doing past papers all at once bc then you won’t have any to use when you truly need them bc you’ll remember answers but looking over past papers you’ve completed and doing questions you’ve already completed allows you to see your mistakes and improvements on the same topics.

also if you do a stem topic, chances as the questions are fairly similar across the exam boards, like ik plenty of people who when they did all the aqa maths papers, they’d go do the ocr ones etc bc the answers and methods are still the same
