Vectors is very likely to come up in paper 2 or 3 since there was no vectors in paper 1.

Trigonometry is likely so make you you go over that and yes vectors is likely. Other things such as rearranging formulas , sequences, competing the square, simultaneous equations are all likely. Make sure you cover everything even some of the topics that came up in paper 1 because exam boards sometimes repeat topics.

yeah thanks for that, i really hope there aren’t many 3d trig questions thoughhhh - they’re the worst.

You've never heard of vectors? Are you doing GCSE paper 2 tomorrow?

Pls revise this it’s incredibly likely. It’s that thing where they give a shape and A- B is like 2a and then b-c is like b and then you have to find the distance to A-C by adding 2a+b

I don't do edexcel, even thought it's similar to AQA i guess, but what topics do you guys presume might come up tomorrow?

it’s the thing where you have a shape and you have to express a distance in certain letters
Thinking a ratio question again.

Pythagoras in 3D
Reciprocals
Trig
Venn Diagrams
Area and perimter using algebra
Nth term of quadratic sequences
Estimate of mean
Histograms
Upper and lower bounds
Direct and indirect proportion
Changing subject of equation
Scatter diagrams/gradient of lines
Recurring decimals
Similarity
Algebra (multi stage)

Use mathswatch for 3D trig I didn’t learn it until yday and I’m fairly confident on it now . Mathswatch also has a predicted topics list so take a look

yes i think definitely histograms either tomorrow or tuesday. and similarity and congruence hasn’t come up yet.

Direct and indirect proportion came up I think? I think functions is a likely topic 😓
Could iteration (probably including trial and improvement) come up, as it hasn't come up in a long time in some higher papers?

i think iteration’s definitely important to revise, even though it hasn’t come up for a while

maybe completing the square
