I feel sort of ready,
I'm set 2 but I've learnt things like Transformations of Graphs, Rearranging Formulas, Reoccurring decimals, etc
Just try to answer as much questions and if you don't get something, just write something down!; you will almost get a mark or two for writing utter bullcrap. Good Luck!

I really don't know what they are going to put in the paper because it is the last year of this syllabus.

My maths teacher said they might even include some of that really hard content that is on next year's paper so the 9-1 spec. I did 2 of those 9-1 papers and I found it TOUGH!

I worked on my own without the teachers for 36 hours a week

I've been revising since the beginning on year 11 and I have improved a lot.. I just get very nervous and my mind goes blank. It's so weird cause this only happens with maths. Numbers scare me lmao

I don't think they're allowed to ask anything from next years spec, only this year's

Hahaha, if it helps try to find somewhere away from friends tomorrow morning, keep calm.

•

Answer everything, you will pick up marks for workings

•

Show every step of working

•

Remember a key on the stem and leaf diagram

•

If you are adding up frequencies before cumulative frequency, check to see if your final number is the same as the number of objects

•

Find a question you can do to help get you relaxed and into the flow of maths

DON'T PANIC (at least GCSE results day isnt your birthday)

Thanks for the tips! I'm fine for the first 20/21 questions, its just the questions at the back. How do I approach them?

Well he said its a possibility just to make the transition over😂 so it's not a huge leap. But I hope what you said is true

I think they may make the papers easier this year because they don't want another c**k up.
Nevertheless, I'm sure everyone will do great, I mean, I sat last year's papers as mock exams and lost 3 marks overall, so it can't be that hard.
Anyway, good luck to everyone!!!! :biggrin:
