How to use these papers
The structured paper is decided by diagrams, so work through the past papers with a pencil and draw one for every question that implies it — even the ones that do not explicitly ask. Markers award for a correct, labelled diagram whether or not the question demanded it.
Mark yourself specifically on whether both axes are labelled, the curves are named, the shift is arrowed and the new equilibrium is marked. Those are four separate scheme points and candidates routinely produce a recognisable diagram that earns two of them.
The multiple-choice paper is best used as a diagnostic rather than as practice. Work one, then look only at the ones you got wrong and find which topic they cluster in — that is where the structured paper will catch you too.
