I might have a look at a couple of papers briefly. Not any real preparation but it's nice to go into the exam with the question style fresh in your head.

Try to enjoy it! It's a chance to do some interesting questions that aren't monotonous like the rest of A Level Maths.

I was going to do it tomorrow, but it's £1 at our college and I'd be missing three lessons of maths :eek:

I'm doing it. My performance seems to vary wildly depending on the paper, so I'm hoping for some questions I can tackle easily tomorrow!

I suggest you don't look at the British Mathematical Olympiad then, those questions are mental! When I did an easier version in Year 11 (the intermediate Olympiad), I literally spent three and a half hours (it's a long bloody paper) staring at my paper in despair and not doing much else.

Lol I probably won't get in anyway XD Kangaroo is realistic though. Although it's so hard I could do most of challenge ignoring the fact that I didn't time myself whatsoever XD

I'm doing it tomorrow as well...
I'm actually a bit scared since I usually make the most stupid mistakes possible and it will deduct points for wrong answers. ;_;
