Which board does my child's school use? Schools choose a board for each subject, and it can differ between subjects. It's usually in the GCSE or A-level options booklet or on the subject's page of the school website, and the front of any mock exam paper shows it. If not, ask the subject teacher. The specification code on the paper matches the code in this table.

Using past papers well
- Start with topic questions, then move to full papers in the last few months.
- Do papers to time, then mark them with the official mark scheme. The mark scheme shows what examiners reward.
- Read the examiner's report for the same paper: it lists the mistakes most students made.
- Make sure the paper matches your child's board, specification code and tier.
