Mock Papers for the Physics Aptitude Test
Now that the Physics Aptitude Test has given way to the ESAT, my Mock Papers are not as relevant for entrance test preparation because they were devised to give practice on the long problem-solving type of question, not rapid-fire multiple-choice questions. However, they would still be useful for interview preparation.
One of my aims when writing problems was to try to create material which was relevant to future PAT papers. In the 2022 PAT there were 11 marks for which the material was the same as questions from my mock papers which I had written years prior to this.
They are available at a cost of £120. Please click here to purchase (available for immediate download) If you are a schoolteacher/tutor or a competitor please contact me before purchase. I can grant a license for schoolteachers to print many (but not unlimited) copies of the papers. If you are a tutor or a competitor please ask each of your students to buy their own copy. Please do not redistribute any of the content.
The following quotes are about the mock papers before their revision in 2020:
"The mock papers written by David were absolutely brilliant as they challenged me to think in the same way I had to for the PAT and they developed the necessary skills very well."
"The 4 mock papers are extraordinarily helpful for PAT. They are fantastic extra resources for PAT preparation which are definitely worth doing and having a good understanding of."
"The four mock papers were incredibly useful as the format was almost identical to that of the PAT but was more challenging and therefore made a lot of the PAT questions seem easy in comparison."
"David also has written multiple excellent mock papers with questions relevant to the current PAT syllabus. These mock papers are more challenging than any of the past papers and this idea of doing more difficult questions is a great way to prepare for the questions on the actual PAT paper because you will find these questions easier than ones you have already attempted."
