Past Paper Booklets
from Alwyn Griffiths
 |
 |
| Until relatively recently school examining boards did
not make past papers readily available. Nowadays, they can be purchased and some are
freely available from the Internet. However in the 1950s, and for several later decades,
teachers recommended that boys purchase booklets that contained papers from about 6
previous years. They were available for all the examination boards that existed at
that time; and for several, but not all, subjects. The outer covers of the WJEC Maths
(Geometry & Trigonometry) 1952–1958 booklet are shown above. The purchase prices
for other subjects are shown on the rear cover. |

| A similar booklet for Ordinary Level Mathematics (Arithmetic and Algebra). Mr D.W. Price was Head of Maths at this time and recommended their purchase. Alwyn Griffiths used these booklets in preparation for his O-levels that he took in the summer of 1959. | |
