this is alevel. go away.
Me too please.

I've done all the AQA Unit 1 and 2 from 2010

And the specimen and 2017 papers which were so much harder :O

Do you think I need to do anything more :frown:

so scared
For mechanics maybe try AS Mechanics 1. Plenty of motion and projectile questions there. Do last year's paper for AQA (Mechanics 1B)

Maybe try other exam boards most recent papers? There's definitely some overlap so it's worth a look at least. I'd say Edexcel probably has the best correlation between the two specifications.

Oxford PAT papers maybe?

there's not much else. I'd go over questions which you got wrong and try to understand why, ESPECIALLY last year's because it was much harder than previous years.

Also, take a read of the specification to ensure you don't have gaps in your knowledge. worst thing which would happen is a question comes up and you haven't even covered it because you haven't read the specification.

Yeah last years was tough - but when looking over it, I think its more the way it is worded rather than the content in my opinion, what do you think?

Yes yes SPEC SPEC SPEC SPEC.

God, I hate A Levels. Im terrified of being one of those people who puts hours and hours in and misses their offer

Yes I agree, just note that Edexcel Paper one has a lot of stuff AQA has on paper 2

Definitely. The wording threw me off, there was just so much especially for the trolleys question. I swear I need to read questions over again 5/6 times to actually understand what it means. AHAHAGG
