Back in my day we did pretty much every past paper we could get our hands on whether it be from our school, or other schools' trial papers. I think the aim was at least one every two-three days per subject or so.

Welll..............At first when I started doing them (keeping in mind i started them around week 5 last term because my trials were on the last two weeks of term :p) they were quite hard in some parts but from doing them a learnt a lot about exam technique for chemistry. how to answer the higher marked questions and calculations too :p I wish i went to Ruse!!! haha
