*The general guidelines are for your reference when you plan your revision schedule, and should be adjusted according to your individual needs. You tutor would be able to advise you if you are in doubt. If you need extra help in Physics, do not hesitate to make appointments to see your tutor.

**Do at least the core questions for your weaker topics if you think you might not complete all questions. The core questions in the PAP package contain the most essential past year ‘A’ level questions and should all be attempted if time permits. The third and final set of the package should be ready by 9 Oct when you come for your Physics revision lecture.

All the best for your ‘A’-level exams!
