Past papers

Past exam papers are available from the Queen Mary library in hard copy or via the website below. For many modules there are past papers dating back to 1997! But beware that syllabuses may have changed a little since then.

It is up to individual module organisers to decide what support they provide for students regarding help with past papers. However, if you attempt past papers well before the exam, you can always go along to see the module organiser in their office hours to discuss any problems. Sometimes module organisers will provide additional materials to aid revision, but this can depend on the nature of the module and on the overall approach to teaching.

Studying for an undergraduate exam is not necessarily the same as studying for a school or college exam. In particular, it's important to try to understand the material and not to memorize solutions, because the questions will usually vary a lot more from year to year than for school or college exams. See the general exams page for some more guidance and tips.
