A couple of things to note about past exam papers:
- the syllabus has changed slightly this year. Poisson processes are no longer covered, and there is new material on reversibility.
- the papers from 2020 and 2021 had a different style since they were taken under open-book conditions.
I've prepared four practice exam papers, involving closed-book-suitable questions from previous years that don't involve Poisson processes, and adding a couple of new questions touching on reversibility.
Solutions for two of the papers are available for students to download.
(a): 2017 exam paper. This paper is suitable in its entirety.
(b): Practice paper 1. Q2 and Q3 from 2015, and one new question.
(c): Practice paper 2. Q1 from 2019, Question M5 from paper AO2 of 2009, and one new question. Solutions available.
(d): Practice paper 3. Q1 (edited) and Q3 from 2018, Q2 from 2020. Solutions available.
Of course many other questions from previous years are also suitable! Just avoid any material on Poisson processes if you want to stick to this year's syllabus.
