IGCSE Additional Mathematics 2016

Hellooooo
I'm preparing (well, I've put of prep for the timebeing because I have so many other exams coming) for my CIE Additional Mathematics exams.
Is anyone else doing the exam? Do you struggle with any areas?

Mainly spammed like 10 past papers in the two days before the exam. Do you remember the 2014 Nov paper? There were some twisters in there. :redface:

Yeah, I am. Sitting my A2's now. :h:

Oh all right I see... I think I should be fine because I have a whole week before my Add Maths papers to prepare without having to think about my other subjects
Yes, I've done that paper!

Okay good luck with those :biggrin:

I was the only one to sit the exam lol
Can you please remind me what #3 was about?
I only really struggled with the relative velocity question and the sinxcotx=whatever question (took me a while)

Did the other people sitting the exam with you find it difficult too? If so
