Engaging with past papers under strict timed conditions simulates the cortisol spikes and pressure of the actual exam day. It trains the brain to switch gears rapidly—from the logical rigor of solving a puzzle to the linguistic nuance required for a comprehension passage—without losing momentum. The past paper becomes a simulator for stress inoculation.
