In this article today we will be discussing a brilliant resource that you can use to help revise for your exams. The Functional Skills Level 2 Past Papers are previously used exams that others like yourself would have taken in the past.
While the papers themselves are found on a multitude of different websites, we highly recommend the Pass Functional Skills Past Papers site. This is because all of their resources are of the highest quality, and all are from after 2019 (the specification was reformed in 2019, so any from before are inaccurate!). They also provide a choice of different exam boards, as you tave the option of talking your actual English exam with different exam boards, having the variation is very useful. While the general content of exams between exam boards is the same, the structure of the exam will not be. So revising from Past Papers that are from the exam board that you are taking your actual exam board will allow for a more accurate experience of what the exam will be like.
Using the Past Papers will also give you a solid idea of what subjects are on the exam itself. The Past Papers also come with their own marking scheme, giving you the opportunity of seeing where your strengths and weaknesses are, showing you where you can improve.
FAQ
How long do I have to take the Past Papers?
The time can vary between exam boards, some will have more time, and some will have less. By going onto the Pass Functional Skills site, if you click on one of the exam boards it will show you how long you will have for the papers.
Should I use them as soon as I start my revision?
