    OCR Core 3 (Not MEI) - Wednesday 20th January PM
    Hi TSR,

    Anybody sitting this paper?

    How are you all preparing?

    Have you had any mocks yet? If so, how did you do?

    Discuss the exam, revision and ask if you require any help.

    Good luck to you all.

    I love this exam. :love:

    Yup, doing it, though everything is self taught so all I've had is mostly self preparation though I'm doing all the past papers to try to do well in this.

    They are these papers which are meant to be slightly harder than exam board papers.

    If you can do them, you can do exam board papers, apparently.

    I wouldn't totally agree with that but it will be good practice.

    Exam board papers throw in random stuff at random times; especially for Core 3.
