ikr geography is too much effort smh
Any predictions for what may come up?
What shall I revise this weekend to get ready for the real exam on Tuesday as I really want a 6?
I really want a 6 in Maths this year as that is what I am predicted. What can I do in the Higher Papers to make it more likely for me to get a 6 or higher?
Any last minute revision tips?

Have you done all the mock/past/practice papers for Edexcel? The more you do the better. Also try all of the Edexcel problem solving sets if you haven't already.

would you consider predicted paper reliable?
I have just tried the on maths predicted paper 1 for 2019 and got 39/80 which is a grade 6. Some of the questions I couldn’t understand how they got to the answer.

No there's no way of knowing what will be in the first paper. You can only start to make predictions once the first paper has been seen.

I think that predicted topics for papers 2/3 can be useful (I make a list every year) but predicted papers are usually just old/uninspired questions and they don't prepare you well for the real thing.

They're usually just similar questions to those found in the previous years papers

Yes I may make my own this year for paper 3 with new/hard questions but it depends on if I have time :smile:

Last year my predicted topics list for paper 3 contained most of the topics that appeared in that paper. So I recommend having a look at it this year.

I took an intensive course (8 months) in year 10 and got a 6. If I had longer to study I probably would've got a 7 but oh well
