Predictions for 26th May?

I have a feeling circle theorems, vectors, and algebraic fractions might appear. What are your thoughts on what you think will turn up for the non-calculator paper on may 26th?

What time is your exam? Mine is 9:00 AM on 26th May
Are we talking about AQA GCSE non-calc?
But tbh I don't think you should bother predicting for maths - just practice everything you need so that you can apply these techniques to the 'worded' questions that may come up :smile:

IGCSE is 'harder' as it contains mostly higher level content and includes topics usually taught at A-level as opposed to GCSE, topics such as differentiation and calculus, etc. However, if you're doing GCSE further maths you may be familiar with some of these topics.

However, some people may say theyl find it easier only because it tends to be less wordy questions so the questions are easily understandable you just need to understand harder topics. THIS IS WHAT MAKES ME LOVE MY EXAM. I wouldn't want to do the others because eventhough the content maybe harder the exam is much better imo.
i hope what you just said will come up because they are alright but please no stupid hannah questions or that dumb cone cylinder, plz edexcel if you are reading this make it easy, its the last GCSE ever before things are switched up!

how are you all revising?

I agree with you on the wordy questions I HATE THEM and they come up frequently on GCSE i prefer things like a simultaneous equation or quadratic equation where there is just a set way you do it and you just do it. Not none of this hannah sweet ********
