Lool.. Good so am not the only one.. I wonder if the formula book has the equations for arithmetic and geometric series and sequences.. Or do we have to memorise them ourselves..

And I def. need to revise sectors and all that *not happy face*

Hopefully I'm ready, just got to make sure I keep checking so I don't make any stupid mistakes, especially on the trig graphs when working out the other values!
