I do them sometimes along with some other spec papers. They are ok not the most useful though as they aren't as hard
I don’t really find a big difference with difficulty with the old spec and the specimen papers tho. Its just the question wording and markschemes which are dodgey

well most people in my school find the old spec questions a lot easier because most of the questions are standard calculations and with the new spec theres a lot more reading and understanding needed. Especially for paper 3 people struggle to find practice that will be as hard as the real thing

Oh right, well the grade boundries are hella low to compensate for that.
It's all in the formula sheet but I don't think volume of a cylinder is
The spec says that we need to be able to calculate it as well as area of triangle ect. Does that mean we memorise it? So weird. Anyway do we also have be able to solve any quadratic equation using or just the ones using the formula? Like do we need to be able to use the completing the square method? Sorry im just bad at maths

I don't think so. However the formula sheet does have the quadratic formula for people who perhaps manage to find an alternative method to solve a problem which may require solving a quadratic.
There is definitely a question like this on either the specification paper or the past papers on the newer course. I’m not too sure but we did it as a mock so I’ll find out.
