    I can’y answer for P3 and P5

    For P1, there have only been 14 exams so only 56 past exam questions. The approved publishers have made up their own questions to supplement the lack of genuine past exam questions whist including substantially all the real exam questions within the revision kit

    So, for P1, I suggest you acquire a reputable publisher’s revision kit

    For P3 and P5 post you query on those two pages and John and Gromit will get back to you

    Revision kit serves a different purpose from past papers.. Past papers provide cues into the type of questions that can be anticipated in the exam and the answers that are expected of us (if you also have the answer key).
    Revision kit helps you to cover the syllabus either comprehensively or briefly depending on the kit you buy!

    I am not sure that I agree with you Nicole. They serve the same purpose (are you sure you are not confusing Revision Kits with Study Texts?).

    The Revision/Exam Kits simply contain lots of exam-standard questions (including past questions) and the more practice the better.

    The Revision/Exam Kits from the approved publishers are all of the same standard – and all have questions covering all parts of the syllabus.
