Hey, are you doing aqa? If so, please can you send me the link for the exam solutions videos?

At the moment, I'm just going through the 'Ultimate guide to Further Maths' on youtube, and that's quite helpful :smile:

How do you learn to do the really difficult questions on the past papers though?

Idek how I did it haha. Yeah, last years papers were really hard, and honestly thought I did badly in it! Was over the moon with my grade :tongue: Mind you, my grade was nothing, so many girls in my year got he distinction! The 2014 papers weren't that hard - I did it for my mock and got the distinction, but the 2015 paper was horrible lol

Did it 2 years ago and got A^. It's just practice really, the more papers you do the more you realise that they cannot ask anything you can't answer if you've done your revision properly - exams are essentially a game where in advance they tell you the rules (the specification) and you have to remember that no matter how horrible a question looks it must ultimately be one of the things within that list and work out which you can apply to the question

when did you start revising for it?

FM for me was more self taught because my teacher left as soon as she started teaching course content, and my new teacher only sat in front of the class to supervise it. To be honest, I didn't revise for it because it was in the very last week of exams when all of my other subject exams finished.
