Hi, revisions going well so I'm feeling quite prepared. I just need to work on speed to get that predicted 9. I'd suggest using https://www.senecalearning.com . It's not the best for maths but can be a good quick revision tool before doing some practise questions.

Have you tried Onmaths? It's a really helpful site with online resources similar to seneca but for maths.

If you're aiming for a grade 9 it's worth investing in this book: https://amzn.to/2VyHYq6, I know a lot of people who bought the book and got 9's. :wink:

I’m re doing my maths again after many moons later. I’m doing the higher paper part me feels to do the foundation. I was told higher paper you have a better chance of getting a C in that then the foundation as you don’t need as much marks then you do in the foundation. Does any one know what’s going to be in the non cal and two cal papers in both higher and foundation

I took my exams a few years ago but a few resources I would recommend are:
maths made easy - has revision notes and question sheets
science and maths revision - revision notes and examples
Also Mr Barton Maths is a great resource
