I am aiming 100% hopefully it is possible

I've done a lot of past papers and revision over the past few months and I'm feeling prepared tbh. I just need to go over the A/A* topics. (doing higher).

Umm dont think it will be to taxing but you never know this is the last year of this spec so they might go out with a bang!

That's exactly how I feel as this is the last year they may use a really messed up question. Tbh I did the Hannah's sweets, it wasn't too bad. I feel edexcel may put in a really hard question! I am so stressed

Achieve maths on youtube covers A/A* topics and goes though past papers. Maths Genie website has loads of practice questions and past papers with solutions and they have predicted papers.

How do people revise? Because I've just been doing past papers in class (cause we're forced lol) but I can't seem to revise at home but that's probably because I don't know what to revise. It's probably too late now though cause the exams tomorrow

examsolutions.net is useful for going over any topics you're unsure on.

Past papers are a good way of revising as it helps you get an idea of what type of questions that will be on the real paper. Unfortunately, with the exam being tomorrow morning that means you only have now til then to revise (which isn't a lot) but I advise you do the following:
- Watch YouTube videos of any topics you're not particularly confident in
- Use a revision guide or textbook (if you have one) they usually have practice questions with answers at the back of the book like the example below
- Write out formulae which will not be on the formulae sheet:
Volume of cuboid = length x width x height
Volume of cylinder = Pi x radius² x height
Volume of pyramid = 1/3 x area of base x vertical height
and so on...
- Answer past-exam questions or exam style questions. I personally like to use corbett maths as it has the answers with the questions on the website (https://corbettmaths.com/revision/practice-questions/) and mathsmadeeasy (http://www.mathsmadeeasy.co.uk/gcsemathsrevisiontopics-AB-grade.htm) and mathsgenie (http://www.mathsgenie.co.uk/grade2.html). Mathsgenie and Corbettmaths have the answers, however I don't think mathsmadeeasy have answers.
- Use flashcards (Quizlet and getrevising are good for these!) and ask a friend or family member to help you revise these

Good luck and try not to stress, remember to think positive and just revise as much as you can :smile:
