Physics PAT

My daughter is thinking of doing the PAT exam in October for physics. When should she start practicing questions and what are some useful websites she could use?
Thanks 😁

I recommend looking into the Parallel Mentoring Programme( https://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/engage/schools/secondary-schools/preparing-pat-course/parallel-mentoring-programme). I found it quite useful as it started just before the summer holidays and set assignments regularly followed up by teams sessions that was taught buy current physics students who had sat the PAT themselves. There was also help with how to approach interviews.

The past papers are highly valuable resources for preparing for the PAT, all of which can be found on the Oxford website here.
To make the most out of this finite resource, it is probably best to start with them towards the end of the summer term, by which point students will have probably covered most of the PAT syllabus in class. It is very likely that not all of the PAT syllabus will have yet been covered in class by this point, so it is probably worth identifying and self studying these topics before starting the past papers, to make sure that all of the questions are accessible to you and that you can make the most of them.
Before starting with PAT papers, there are plenty of things you can do to boost your physics problem solving skills, but the best one that comes to mind is Isaac Physics, where you can find appropriate level questions on whichever topic you want and have covered.

Thank you very much.

The pat papers are useful but Oxford doesn't provide answers. Here are a couple of sites I found helpful in marking and correcting my PATs:

Full worked solutions.

Don't think it's still being updated but it had worked solutions and I found the comments helpful.
Hope this helps
Edit: grammar

We start prep at Easter [state school] - she should ask her teachers about support,

Start practicing as soon as possible. It’s a simple equation; the earlier you start, the more questions you do and the more questions you do, the better your result in the PAT.
Many people have posted good links already. Best sources of questions are Oxford PAT past papers, Oxford MAT past papers, Cambridge NSAA and ENGAA past papers and TMUA past papers.
The most important thing is to sit them under time pressure. By that I mean take the time it says you would have and remove 25%. You (probably) wont do well at first but just keep doing them. Then redo them.
By the time the PAT comes, time pressure won’t exist for you.

Many Thanks.

Here's a full set of worked solutions that she might find useful:

I usually start on PAT around March. I would suggest spacing out the papers. Start with questions on topics that she has already covered. Identify topics on the syllabus that won't be covered at school before the test, and then study these independently. Having fluent maths skills is very useful, so get more comfortable with numbers.
