Past Papers

This is a very loose breakdown of which topics have come up over the previous years. Includes a breakdown of topics to be found on Section A from papers back to 2001 (when Dr Armstrong became course lecturer), and questions on Section B from the sample paper given out for the new course layout. Potentially contains errors and plenty of questions open to wide interpretation, but might prove useful for guessing topics: download here.
