I've found that I know all the content, I just lose marks on those questions about data handling. So after doing many past papers and mark schemes I've learnt:
- when describing a trend always qualify the pattern (ie - at first the x increased rapidly and after 'value', the rate becomes slower).Definitely get as much past paper practice in as you can though.

That's really helpful, thanks :smile:

I think that I've covered all of the past papers and content, I just need to have a read through my revision guide tomorrow morning. Do you know how strict marking is for the type of language that you use whilst answering 1-2 mark questions?

As long as the words you use have the same meaning as that on the mark scheme you should get the marks unless the word is underlined on the mark scheme - this means it must be in the answer at some point to obtain the mark
