    Some practise paper's mark schemes are a bit dodgy, so you may be right, I have noticed that myself!
    Yeah I agree,

    Have you found any question that were a bit tricky.

    I found the specimen paper very hard

    I got 116 UMS in unit 1. Although I got an A* in that unit I am still cautious about unit 2. What do you think will be in it? I reckon decimal multiplying etc. as that's in all the practice papers and hasn't really come up in a real paper yet.

    I got 114 UMS, I can gurantee the last question will be on circle theorem, its the one thing I struggle with!

    I reckon
    Algebra
    Fraction percentages ratio
    Circle Theorem
    Indices
    Standform (Maybe)
    Volume/area

    circle theorems aren't too bad there's only three theorems that you need to know.

    Best way to get over them is to practice some questions and watch some youtube videos on them.
