How to use these papers
Attempt the experimental-design questions first. They appear reliably, they are the least dependent on remembering a specific relationship, and they teach the phrasing the rubric rewards across the whole paper.
When marking, check whether you answered the question that was asked: many prompts want a comparison ("greater than, less than, or equal to") with a justification, and a full numerical solution to a question that never asked for a number earns no more than the comparison alone would have.
Because fields cannot be seen, sketch one for every question involving them — field lines, equipotentials, a circuit redrawn in a simpler form. The sketch is often what makes the justification obvious.
