- there was a slight change to the syllabus, starting with the 2024 paper. 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. Here are four practice exam papers, involving closed-book-suitable questions from previous years that don't involve Poisson processes, and including a couple of questions involving reversibility. Solutions to two of the papers will be available for students to download. (a): 2025 exam paper (with hint added to Q2(c)(ii)). (b): 2024 exam paper. Solutions available. (c): Practice paper 1. Q1 (edited) from 2018, Q2 from 2022, Q2 from 2016. Solutions available. (d): Practice paper 2. 2017 Q1, 2015 Q3, and a new question. 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. All four problem sheets are now available.
