Okay

I would tell you to give me a shout when you have trouble with matrices but I feel I'll probably make you even worse at it :colondollar:

Nope, we upgraded them to graphical ones :biggrin:

I know how to do it on the calculator if I can get the matrix, but I seem to have a natural talent for messing up that bit :facepalm:

Is FP1 the closest exam paper to this exam? Do you have any papers that have been made by teachers e.t.c?
Also, if it is FP1, should I be doing FP1 Edexcel or OCR?
