    Funny, because there are threads around with people saying 'It's always OCR..' and 'It's always AQA..'.

    In this case you can't really blame Edexcel, it was the British Council in Egypt that messed it up.

    I dunno, Edexcel's main papers can be a bit dubious sometimes especially lately as they're trying to up the difficulty, I hate to think what the backup paper will be like. I'm glad I'm sitting S3 not C4, when I read it was an Egyptian school I sighed with relief - no way S3 could make it all the way there when only like 10 people do it in the UK.

    I'm from Egypt and I'm doing S3. I'm probably the only one though, hahaha. I think I'm the first person to do Further Math in Egypt. My school didn't even know what it was and didn't teach me anything nor even provide the books. I had to buy them myself and just learn from them. :/
