IGCSE Physics Mock Error Log
After every mock or past paper, log each lost mark: what the question wanted, why the mark was lost and the one correction to remember. Reviewing this log is often worth more than doing another whole paper.
Print one copy per paper. The cause categories below help you spot whether the problem is mostly concept, calculation, or exam technique.
