The practical exam mark schemes are really useful to see exactly what the examiners are expecting you to produce.
But beware! The theory exam mark schemes contain bulleted lists of keywords that the examiners are looking for. If you only write these keywords you will not get the marks!
You must write in full sentences are show that you actually understand the topic! Do NOT try to learn the theory exam mark scheme keywords - learn the topic!
